Yes, I'm definitely on a pumpkin kick.  I love fall, I love the weather change, I love the holidays, I LOVE the food.  So, this week's recipe is another pumpkin one, cookies this time, though.  I realized I didn't have an pumpkin cookie recipes on here, so I needed to remedy that.  Enjoy!

In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and coconut sugar together.  Add in the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin and mix until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour blend, oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add in the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture until combined.  Fold in the chocolate chips.
