Pumpkin Cookies

I saw this recipe online and thought it would be neat to swap from the normal pumpkin recipes, and they turned out very nice. They were thick and tasted more like a muffin or a brownie. My kids really liked them.

Here is the recipe:

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (I just used the 15 oz can)
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups of chocolate chips (I used about half a bag or 1 cup)
1/2 cup of walnuts (optional)

Directions:

1.) Combine pumpkin, sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda. Add flour mix slowly to pumpkin and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
2.) Drop by spoonful onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in a sealed container.

The amazing thing was that they turned out just right. I am known for making bad cookies, cookies that are really hard, but these were soft, and perfect!
