Click on the picture to see a perfectly readable recipe with a bonus Pink Cloud shake recipe!!  Do you have vanilla ice cream but no chocolate?  Improvise by adding Nesquik powder or any chocolate syrup. This came out of an old Better Homes and Garden magazine my mom bought from the library and I just scanned the page .  I wanted to share it because I thought it was cute--maybe from the 90's?   We've had this shake a lot and even put it in H Kindergarten Cookbook. 

Will fall just get here already? I want to make these...they are so yummy!  *This recipe isn't technically mine.  I wrote it down from a cookbook long ago when I was babysitting but have changed a couple things. 1 c. shortening 2 c. sugar 1 large can pumpkin (approx. 3½ c.) 2 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 5 c. white flour (I always sub at least 1 c. white wheat flour) 2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 2 tsp. nutmeg 2 tsp. cinnamon 2-3 c. chocolate chips Mix sugar and shortening. Add eggs, vanilla and pumpkin. Add dry ingredients.  Mix well.  Add chocolate chips.  I like to use the mini chips so there's chocolate in every bite!  Bake at 350 for 16-18 minutes. Makes 4 ½ dozen . Recipe can easily be halved if you want less cookies (not me!). You can freeze them and they're still so yummy and moist after they thaw.
