Recipe
1. In an extra-large bowl, beat together shortening and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add pumpkin and egg; beat until combined.
2. In medium bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda. Beat into the pumpkin mixture until combined.

Cookie Glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, and 1 tablespoon milk. Heat over medium heat until butter melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. (If frosting becomes too thick, stir in a few drops of hot water.) Makes 3/4 cup.
