These are the cookies I made for the pumpkin party. It is the same recipe I put in the cookbook, but I did half butter-half shortening this time and added the icing.
makes 3 dozen
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips
Cream butter/shortening and sugar. In a separate bowl whisk together dry ingredients. Add to the sugar mixture. Add egg, pumpkin, and vanilla; mix to combine.
Using a medium scoop, drop onto cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes at 375*.
Brown Butter Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
5 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 1/2 Tbsp evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla
Melt butter in a small saucepan, swirling occasionally to brown evenly, about 3 minutes. Immediately add sugar, milk and vanilla; stir until smooth.
You can spread the icing on your cookies or you can thin it down a little with a bit more evaporated milk and just dip the tops of your cookies into the icing then place on a rack to let set.

I am totally making these right now because I could not stop eating them at the pumpkin party (and I have some leftover pumpkin). Thanks for the recipe.
