Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 Cup Shortening
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1 Egg
1 Cup Canned Pumpkin
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 1/2 Cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon
Chocolate Chips

Cream shortening and sugar. Add the egg, pumpkin, and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and gradually add to creamed mixture. Add chocolate chips. Pecans are a nice addition as well.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 13 minutes... they will be slightly turning brown in some places and even continue to cook a little more on the cookie sheet.
