  • 1 cup shortening
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • Make the cookies: In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup shortening, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix in pumpkin, egg, and vanilla. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together into a bowl; mix into the creamed mixture. Stir in walnuts. Drop dough by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 3 tablespoons butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then cook and stir for 1 minute, or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Add milk and beat until smooth. Gradually stir in 2 cups confectioners' sugar until frosting has reached desired consistency. Spread on cooled cookies.
