As the weather gets cooler, all I can think about is pumpkin everything - like these Super Soft Pumpkin Cookies.  Made with pumpkin pie filling, they are super soft and moist with a cream cheese frosting and hint of cinnamon.  They are perfect for enjoying on a fall day with some pumpkin spice coffee or as a dessert for Thanksgiving.

Cream the shortening and sugars together with a hand mixer.  Add in egg, vanilla and, pie filling. Mix until well blended.

Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.  Add it gradually to the pumpkin mixture and mix well.

Drop a large spoon full of batter onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.  Let cool and top with cream cheese frosting and a dash of cinnamon.
Serve and enjoy!
