cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in
egg, then stir in pumpkin and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder,
baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon; gradually mix into the creamed

teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 15 mins in the
preheated oven or until light brown. Cool on wire racks.
