Ugly Pumpkin Cookies Aka “Puglies”

• 1/2 cups Shortening
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Pumpkin
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2 cups Flour
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1-1/2 cup Butterscotch Chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slightly grease a cookie sheet.
2. Cream shortening and sugar in a mixer until smooth. Add pumpkin and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and add to the pumpkin mixture. Add chips and mix well.
3. Mixture will be sticky, so I recommend using a small scoop onto cookie sheets. Bake 9-11 minutes and cool on sheets 1 minute before removing to racks to cool.
4. Note: the shortening in this recipe can easily be replaced with an equal amount of applesauce to cut the fat. They still taste great, but are just as ugly!
