1 1/2 cups shortening
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 15 oz can pumpkin
3 cups flour
3 1/2 cups oatmeal (I use the "old fashioned" kind)
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup chopped nuts (optional, I don't use)
Preheat oven 375 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl beat "wet" ingredients together with sugar. In another bowl stir dry ingredients together. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir till combined. Drop onto parchment paper covered cookie sheets. Bake 15 minutes.
GLAZE: powdered sugar mixed with lemon juice to consistency you like. Brush/drizzle over warm/cool cookies. ENJOY!
