Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, cream together the vegetable shortening and both sugars. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Beat in the pumpkin. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.

  4. 4

    Drop the dough by spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

  5. 5

    Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly colored. Transfer to wire racks to cool fully before icing (if desired).

  6. 6

    To make the vanilla icing all I did was put a 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in a bowl with a tiny amount of vanilla and added a teaspoon or water at a time until the right consistency. If too watery add more powdered sugar, or more water if too thick.
