Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and lightly grease your baking sheets. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, honey, shortening, water, egg, and vanilla until everything is smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cloves. Pour the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture and stir until it forms a well-blended dough. Scoop out rounded teaspoons of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, giving them a little space to spread. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn golden and feel set. Let the cookies cool a bit before enjoying!
