Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays

I decided to share a dessert with ya'll this week. This is one of my favorite Fall desserts.

ENJOY! Let me know if you try it out!

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

1 cup shortening

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 (15 oz.) cans pumpkin

4 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 pinch nutmeg

2 cups chocolate chips

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla and pumpkin until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin spice. and nutmeg; stir into pumpkin mixture. Fold in chocolate chips.

Drop by teaspoonfools onto cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Makes about 7 dozen cookies.

**Note: These cookies will bake pretty much exactly how you drop them on the cookie sheet. They don't really expand or rise too much, so if there are peaks in your cookie batter when they're on the sheet, you'll have crunchy little peaks baked in your cookies. I get a teaspoon full and roll them in a ball in my hand before I put them on the cookie sheet.
