Oh So, So Good Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Blend together:
1 C Shortening
1 C Sugar
1 C Pumpkin
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla

Sift together:
2 C Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Salt

½-1 C Chocolate Chips

Add dry ingredients to moist. Mix in chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 mins at 375.
When cool, frost with icing.

Icing:
3 tbsp Melted Butter
3 tbsp Milk
½ C Brown Sugar
Powdered Sugar

Boil butter, milk, and brown sugar for 2 minutes, stirring constantly (hard boil). Cool slightly, add enough powdered sugar slowly (so as to not get bumps) to spread easily. It should be a light caramel color. Let frosting cool for about 10 minutes before frosting cookies.
