Pumpkin Choclate Chip Cookies

In the spirit of Thanksgiving weekend, I'd like to thank chocolate and pumpkin for existing and being such a great team.

Last night I made a double batch of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, or Chumpkin Cookies as I like to call them (as of three seconds ago). It's a super easy recipe that produces more of a cake like cookie. I love the spiciness of it with the sweetness of the chocoalte chips. This cookie is a huge winner and is rivalled by none other than my pumpkin swirl brownies (which I'll be making on Sunday).

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Here's the recipe:
1 cup of canned pumpkin
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon milk
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 table spoon vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips

Mix the pumpkin, sugar, oil, egg, spices and vanilla together by hand.Dissolve bakign soda into milk and add to bowl. Mix in dry ingredients. Add choclate chips. Put on cookie sheet by spoolful. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10+ minutes. I always test my cookies by poking them, if they bounce back then they are done.
