Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Cookies

Time for more pumpkin!!!! Come on... I gave you the weekend off. You should've expected more pumpkin come Monday! :)

These cookies taste SO MUCH like pumpkin pie to me. I ate them warm out of the oven (delicious), at room temperature (still delicious), and frozen (oh my goodness... AMAZING!). These fantastic cookies retain their softness when frozen so there is no need to thaw before eating. There is just something amazing about them once they are cold. Mmmmm... makes me want to go grab one out of the freezer now!

Enjoy!

3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
