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.

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!
