- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions
- Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl beak Crisco for 30 seconds.
- Add sugars to Crisco and beat until fluffy.
- Add eggs, peel, vanilla and pumpkin to Crisco mixture.

- Spoon batter onto cookie sheets, leaving some room between cookies.
- Bake about 10 minute at 375°F.

- I haven't tried this, but these would likely really taste good with a cream cheese icing, and/or you could add two chocolate chips for "ghost" eyes to add to the festive spirit.
