HELP! Hahaha, I am having a baking emergency. So I decide to make vegan pumpkin cookies, right? And I have ALL the ingredients out and start to mix them. Well, when I get to the vegetable shortening it had dead ants on the tope and the rest of it looked really gross. i don't know if its gone bad or if it supposed to look like that (deep cracks and <a href="http:/dark">random...oily/dark</a> spots). So, what is an alternative to vegetable shortening in recipes. Can I just do without, or what?<br><br>
Here is the recipe:<br><br>

Pumpkin Cookies<br><br>
Submitted by Stone_Fox<br><br>
prep time: 15 min | cooking time: 12-15 min | makes 2 doz. ? (not really sure!)<br><br>
I found this cookie receipe on a non-vegan site (oh the horror!) yet it is totally veggie friendly. i made about a billion of them for a party and everyone loved them. I told them they were vegan after and they were all like "really?". Don't you just love that?<br><br>
Equipment:<br><br>
normal cookie sheet and favorite wooden spoon. If you're making multiple batches replacing the spoon with a standmixer will save time.<br><br><br><br>
Ingredients<br><br>
1/2 c. shortening<br><br>
1/2 c. granulated sugar<br><br>
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar<br><br>
1 c. 100% pure pumpkin puree (NOT pie filling)<br><br>
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract<br><br>
1 c. chopped, toasted pecans<br><br>
2 c. all purpose flour<br><br>
1 tsp. each: baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon<br><br>
pinch salt<br><br>
1/2 tsp. ginger<br><br>
1/4 tsp. nutmeg<br><br>
1/8 tsp. cardamom<br><br><br><br>
Directions<br><br>
Mix everything together really well. Chill in refriderator for about an hour. Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchemnt paper or a non-stick mat (optional but makes removal easier). If you want them to be really pretty put the dough into a big piping bag with a huge swirl tip and pipe swirls onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar for extra yumminess and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. let rest on pan for a few minutes then transfer to cooling rack.
