1 1/3 c Sugar
2 Eggs, well beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream shortening and sugar thoroughly. Add
egg, pumpkin, and flavorings, mixing well. Sift together dry ingredients
and sift into creamed mixture. Mix well. Drop by large teaspoonfuls on a
greased baking sheet (or a sheet covered in aluminum foil); these spread
very little. Sprinkle equal amounts of sugar and cinnamon, mixed together
in a shaker, over cookies. Bake about 15 minutes.
