Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Happy Halloween! I spent my morning making these yummy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for our annual family party tonight. They are a great treat for these fall months and are really easy to make.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup canned pumpkin

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I like to used milk chocolate instead)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and stir in. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Add vanilla, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.
