These are one of my favorite cookies
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
In an extra large mixing bowl, beat together shortening and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add pumpkin and egg; beat until combined.In another bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda. Beat into the pumpkin mixture until combined.
Spoon by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake cookies in a 375 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or till the tops seem firm. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Prepare cookie glaze and spread over cookies. Sprinkle with nuts if you like.
COOKIE GLAZE: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 3 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon milk. Heat over medium heat until butter melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup SIFTED powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Note: It's important to sift or double sift the powdered sugar so that there are no lumps. The lumps won't dissolve in the glaze and it looks awful.
