¼ tsp.  - Salt

Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets. Cream shortening and sugar. Stir in pumpkin and vanilla. Then sift flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, spices. Stir into a creamed mixture. Fold in chocolate chips finished with a quick blend. (blending too long can melt chips). Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your cookie sheets. Cooking time 8-10 min.

Ready for baking!

Notes: This is an easy recipe to double, if made by teaspoonfuls (recommended) it will make more than 40 cookies! I live in the mountains and find no trouble with them going flat. These tasty cookies ares soft and the perfect bite size treat. Plus what’s great about these cookies is you can get your children's help making them, so easy, and this batter they can taste without any worries!!

Hope you enjoy,

Hidden Pumpkin Patch

10.29.2010



Hidden deep in the woods far from town an eerie pumpkin patch grows. Glowing under the full moon, blanketed in a spiced mist these sweet pumpkins grow to unusually large sizes. 

The Aroma: Slightly sweetened pumpkin flesh wrapped in a warm bed of cinnamon & cloves stuffed with nutmeg, a pinch of vanilla and filled to the brim with autumn air.

The Experience: Moisturize your skin with the spicy warmth of pureed pumpkin and shea butter. Your skin will glow with the silky feel of bentonite clay. As an eerie dash of honey and sugar draw in the dewy autumn air.
----------------------------

With fall in the air who can resist all it's seasonal delights! This is probably my favorite time of the year. Cool air, changing leaves, spices, and best of all PUMPKINS! If you love fall as much as I do, give this soap a try! It's sure to please your seasonal cravings!
