Tried a new choc chip cookie recipe...

[Chrisnstar]

The guys really liked it and Ray is pretty fussy about cookies!

EGG FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN COOKIES

2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening (I used half butter, half margarine)
1 (15oz) can pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375 (I ended up turning the oven down to 365)
2. Cream the sugar, shortening, pumpkin and vanilla together. Mix until light and well combined.
3. Mix the flour, baking soda nd cinnamon. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Drop by teaspoons onto a cookie sheet. (it said ungreased, but I always use some Baker's joy on mine)

Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes or until set. Let cookies cool on a rack.

John and Ray ate up a dozen as soon as they came out of the oven!

Hey, those sound really good! I'll have to try them the next time the boys come. I'd do them now, but I still have a pan of gingerbread to finish. I made it with currants soaked in rum, chopped pecans, and candied ginger. Yum!

ooooh, I loff gingerbread! such a comfort food! With a glop of whipped cream on top!

[Mary Ann]

Yup, that's how we ate it!

Chris I made these last night. They are good - thanks for the recipe. I also melted some dark chocolate and 'dipped' some hazelnuts. -- its a good thing I have a day job and don't have to make a living as a candy maker.
