Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
- 2
Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- 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
Drop the dough by spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
- 5
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly colored. Transfer to wire racks to cool fully before icing (if desired).
- 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.

My mom always baked these when I was growing up. I don't have any idea where the recipe came from. But they are like crack for me. I have to really control myself not to eat half of them while they're coming out of the oven. Jenn Martinelli -
