Recipe - Pumpkin Spice Drops With Lemon Icing

One half cup Shortening
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs, Beaten
1 cup Solid Pack Pumpkin
2 cup Flour, Sifted
4 tablespoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
2 One half tablespoon Cinnamon
One half teaspoon Nutmeg
One fourth teaspoon Ginger
1 cup Raisins
1 cup Nuts, Chopped

Preheat Oven 350. Cream shortening, add sugar gradually. Add eggs, and
pumpkin, mix well. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and spices together. Add
to pumpkin mixture and mix until blended.

Add rasins and nuts. Drop by teaspoon onto pam coated cookie sheet. Bake
about 15 mins. Cool on rack, frost with Lemon Icing. These freeze well.

Lemon Icing: Combine 2 cups confectioners sugar with 1 Tablespoon each
lemon juice and grated lemon rind. Add just enough cream to make it spread
smooth. If stiff add more cream little at a time until spreads smooth.

I usually bake these on my baking stone. I like the warm soft bottoms
without a hard crusty edge.
