ERIN'S PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar and shortening.
• Add pumpkin and egg and mix again.
• In a small mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
• In a condiment bowl or small cup, dissolve baking soda into milk.
• Add baking soda mixture to dry ingredients and blend.
• Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet, add vanilla, and mix well.
• Fold in chocolate chips.
• Drop by heaping teaspoons onto cookie sheet.
• I line the sheet with parchment paper.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden around bottom edges.
• This makes a small batch (I am guessing about 4 dozen) I often double the recipe with no problem!

OREO COOKIE TURKEYS

Steps:

• Place one Oreo cookie as the base. Put one teaspoon of chocolate frosting on top.
• Place one small peanut butter cup on it's side so that the top and bottom are perpendicular to the base -- and stuck in the frosting. Place a teaspoon of chocolate frosting on the top(widest part) of the p-butter cup.
• For the second cookie. Stick some candy corn into the Oreo 'stuff' along one edge for the feathers -- pointy side down. They should fan out around the edge. If you have trouble doing this, you can help them stick with some white frosting.
• Place this second Oreo cookie (the tail) on it's edge and sticking to a dab of brown frosting on the back of the peanut butter cup.
• Place a dab of chocolate frosting on top of the peanut butter up (for the head). Place a malted milk ball on top for the head.
• Take a small amount of the white frosting in a separate dish. Mix in red food coloring.
• Use a toothpick with the white and red colors to place eyes, and wattle. You can pinch off the small pointy top of a candy corn and dip it in brown frosting for the beak.
• Your turkey is complete!
