1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup pumpkin puree {canned pumpkin}
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
4 cups  flour

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat and set aside.

2.  In a large bowl, stir butter, oil, pumpkin, sugars, vanilla and eggs together until incorporated and smooth. Slowly mix in all dry ingredients until completely incorporated.
