As you wish....

FROSTED PUMPKIN SPICE COOKIES

Ingredients: 1/2 cup shortening; 1 cup sugar; 2 eggs, beaten, 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pie filling); 2 cups sifted flour; 1 tsp baking powder; 1 tsp salt; 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon; 1/2 tsp nutmeg; 1/4 tsp ginger; 1 cup white raisins.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream shortening; gradually beat in sugar. Add eggs and pumpkin and mix well. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and spices together. Add to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Add raisins. Drop by heaping teaspoon onto greased baking sheets. Bake 15 min - until firm to the touch. Remove cookies to rack to cool. Makes about 4 dozen.

Lemon frosting: Combine 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of grated lemon rind. Add just enough cream or milk for spreading consistency. Frost while cookies are still warm.

Then stand back while they disappear.....

At the risk of sounding like I am pimping my work, I have a book available for Kindle on Amazon (”Guys Can Cook”) which includes, among other things, the recipes for a complete Thanksgiving dinner. It was written for the cooking impared, like I used to be. If anyone is interested, I would be happy to send them the Thanksgiving dinner portion of my book, via Freepmail.
