4-1/2 cups flour
4 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. salt
1-1/2 cups shortening*
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
3/4 cup coarse or granulated sugar
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Stir flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt in medium bowl; set aside.
Beat shortening in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add 2 cups sugar, beating until fluffy. Add eggs and molasses; beat until well blended.
Beat in as much flour mixture as possible with mixer. Stir in any remaining flour mixture with wooden spoon. Shape dough into 2-inch balls with 1/4-cup ice cream scoop. Roll in 3/4-cup sugar.
Place 2-1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned and puffed. (Do not overbake or cookies will not be chewy.) Cool for 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets. Cool on wire racks. Makes about 25 cookies.
*Note: to create the chewy texture, be sure to make these cookies with shortening, not butter or margarine.
Enjoy!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

My kids love these cookies. We make them in the fall, especially around Thanksgiving and Halloween, but they would be just as good on a rainy summer day. Using milk chocolate chips really give them a wonderful flavor with the pumpkin and other spices. They have the same density as hermits and just as good!
Ingredients:
Cookies...
1/2 pound butter (2 sticks)
2 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. white sugar
4 eggs
2 c. mashed cooked pumpkin
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. chocolate chips (milk chocolate)
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 -1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. ginger
Icing... (if desired, they are great with or without)
3 T. confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. hot water (more or less as needed; for desired consistency)
Directions:
Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
In a large mixer, cream together butter, sugars, eggs, and pumpkin.
Stir in dry ingredients, one-third at a time, until well combined.
Add vanilla and chocolate chips, stir.
Tip: Batter will be very soft, however, chilling this dough is not necessary. Cookies will hold their shape during baking.
Drop by spoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Cool cookies on rack.
Drizzle with icing if desired.
Editor's Note: You could easily substitute other ingredients for the chocolate chips, I would suggest raisins or chopped walnuts, or a combination of all three. The original recipe does not call for icing but I thought it would be pretty for the holidays. They are delicious either way and taste similar to pumpkin bread. YUM!!!
Enjoy!

Here's a good cookie to make ahead of time for the holidays. This recipe was given to me by my grandmother.
Ingredients
2 eggs
l cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
3/4 cup ground nuts
2 l/2 cups flour
l/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
l/2 tsp. cinnamon
l/4 tsp. allspice
l/2 tsp. cloves
6 tsp. orange peel and 2 tsp. lemon peel
(or you can use mixed candied fruit in place of orange and lemon peel)
Directions:
Beat eggs and sugar till fluffy. Add honey and mix well, then add nuts (almonds or walnuts). In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients together. Add orange and lemon peel, or candied fruit. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and beat well.
Chill dough for several hours or overnight. Roll out to about l/4 inch thick or thinner. Cut out cookies with cutters of the season. I add a slivered almond and green and red candied cherries on the top before baking at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Do Not let them get too brown.
If they are too crisp, put them in a plastic bag and add a bread crust. They will become softer and chewy. They will keep for weeks - Not refrigerated.
Enjoy!
