Treat of the Week

Hey guys! It's that time of week for a new recipe!!!

To get everyone in the fall mood I decided to do a "Chunky Pumpkin Spice Cookie" for the treat this week!! So here we go!!

Ingredients:
-2 cups of all-purpose flour
-1 cup of white sugar
-1 cup of pumpkin puree [canned pumpkin]
-1/4 of teaspoon salt
-1 teaspoon of baking soda
-1 teaspoon of baking powder
-1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
-1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
-1/2 cup of shortening
-1 1/2 cups of chopped walnuts
-1 1/2 cups of butterscotch chips
[Optional:
-1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice]

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease/line your cookie sheets.
2. In a medium bowl, cream the shortening and sugar. Stir in the pumpkin and vanilla.
3. Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture.
4. Mix in the butterscotch chips and walnuts.
5. Drop dough [using your cookie dropper tool!] onto your prepared sheets. [Don't worry too much about spacing; give them some breathing room, but these ones don't tend to spread out too much.]
6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool for a minute on cookie sheets before transferring to wire cooling racks.
7. ENJOY!



Now I know these flavors seem kind of out there, but walnuts are always paired with pumpkin, and the butterscotch flavor really seems to work with pumpkin for me. So I thought, why not combine them?? Well, it turned out well and I hope you guys enjoy these delicious fall treats!!
