Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies with Cinnamon Frosting

Sift together:
2 Cups flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
Cream together:
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 Cup sugar
1 egg
Other Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin pie filling
half a bag of milk chocolate chips

Add sifted ingredients with creamed mixture and 1 cup of Pumpkin Pie Filling. Stir in chocolate chips.  (I did half the sifted ingredients with 1/2 of pumpkin, mixed it together and then finished with the rest of the sifted ingredients and pie filling.)
Bake 375 for 10-15 min  (11 minutes seemed perfect)

Cinnamon Frosting
1 stick of butter, softened
4 cups of confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup of milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
1 to 2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1. Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a regular bowl and a hand mixer) and beat until smooth.
2. Add the confectioners’ sugar, milk, vanilla and cinnamon*.
3. Mix until blended and creamy; make sure to scrape the bowl with a spatula occasionally to get any renegade cinnamon hiding at the bottom.
4. Frost the cookies once they’ve cooled.
