Pumpkin Drop Cookies

We are in the process of making these yummy cookies. I thought I'd share the recipe. We made a double batch, so we can share some and bring some to school for my daughter's Birthday on Tuesday. They are awesome and remind us of fall! Here is the recipe if you'd like to try it:


Pumpkin Drop Cookies

1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
3 cups sugar
1 (15 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin
2 eggs

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

CINNAMON FROSTING:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Beat in the pumpkin, eggs and milk. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, allspice and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture.
