Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’m not that big on baking but I do enjoy making the occasional cookie recipe. Matt loves chocolate chip cookies so I try to make them every once in awhile. It was Fall when I decided to make cookies so a great twist on the original chocolate chip cookie recipe is to make them with some Pumpkin puree. I love anything that has pumpkin in it so this recipe was a natural fit.

1 cup Pumpkin Puree

1 cup white sugar

½ cup vegetable oil

1 egg

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

½ tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp milk

1 T vanilla extract

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

½ cup chopped walnuts

Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda in milk and add to wet mixture. Combine wet and dry ingredients and beat with a mixer until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Bake 12 mins at 350 degrees. (makes 3 dozen small cookies)
