Any one who lives in Massachusetts has tasted these cookies and know that they are my friend Macy’s recipe. She is famous across the state for these! We would ask Macy when she was making these and just happen to pop over at that time!
Cookie Batter:
3 cups Flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
3/4 tsp Salt
1 1/2 cup Shortening
1 1/2 cup Sugar
1 1/2 cup Pumpkin
2 Eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
Frosting -
2 Tbsp Butter
1/2 Cup Cream
2 cups Brown Sugar
2/3 tsp Vanilla
Powdered Sugar
Cream the shortening, sugar, eggs and pumpkin
Combine remaining flour ingredients and add to pumpkin mixture
Drop with a scoop into a sheet lined with parchment paper. Take a spoon and run under cold water. Gently push spoon into each mound making a “small bowl” for the frosting to sit in after they are cooked. ( you make have to run spoon under cold water every couple of cookies)
Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes
For the frosting - Melt the ingredients together in a saucepan over low heat for 4-5 minutes until combined. *. Ale sure the sugar is actually melted. Let the mixture cool slightly and add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until the frosting reaches spreading consistency.
Frost when the cookies are cooked on a wire rack as the frosting drops off the cookie and can make a mess.
