Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Modified from blog

1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup butter

2 cups sugar

2 tsp vanilla

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

4 tsp cinnamon

4 cups flour

1 bag (16 oz) chocolate chips (I like to see the minis)

Preheat oven to 350.

Add all the ingredients except flour and chips to the mixer. Mix until well mixed. Add flour 1 cup at a time until incorporated. Once all mixed in, take off mixer and add in chips to hand mix.

Put on a baking sheet and bake for 13-17 minutes (this says 10-12...mine took me much longer but chances are I make bigger cookies than they did). Cool.

Makes 5 dozen cookies.
