It's the great pumpkin...


cookie! A ton of pumpkin cookie recipes have been floating around recently, and I really wanted to give one a try. I chose this recipe from All Recipes because I had the ingredients on hand. These smelled amazing while baking and were delicious. A nice subtle pumpkin flavor with a cinnamon kick at the end. They make a very cake-like cookie, and I actually preferred them cold from the refrigerator, just as the recipe suggested. I will definitely make these again!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

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
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) (I didn't use)

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 F (175 degrees C) for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.
