Pump you up with pumpkin Project #27

A little treat for this rainy night!  I plan on sitting down on the couch with a few cookies and a glass of milk, and totally losing myself to Glee!  Tuesday night's the best! 

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies 

Recipe should make two dozen - but we were able to make FOUR dozen using this recipe:

Ingredients

• 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 have any vegetable oil, so I replaced it with equal amount of apple sauce.  Turned out delicious!!**

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.
3. 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.
