Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup pumpkin pureed (the kind you buy for pie filling works just great)
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 (1.5) tsp baking Powder
1 tsp baking Soda
6 oz semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375. In a large mixing bowl add pumpkin, egg, oil, sugar & cinnamon. Mix well. In a separate bowl mix flour, salt, baking powder & baking soda.

2. In three batches add dry flour mixture to wet pumpkin mixture, mixing until well blended each time. With a rubber spatula, fold in chocolate chips.

3. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheet. Bake 9-11 min or until edges are golden brown. Remove immediately and let cook an a wire rack. Store in an air tight container with wax paper between layers.

NOTE: The cookies are a bit more like a muffin texture. They just don't have the same consistency as a typical cookie. They are very good and the pumpkin is not super noticeable. They are a perfect compliment to any fall gathering.
