Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mmmm… perfect for autumn! Or anytime!
I made these and they were delicious right out of the oven.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of 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 just used the whole small bag [about 12 oz.]  that I got from the store)

Directions:

1. 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.
2. Add vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts if you want.
3. Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.
