Ok, so I really love pumpkin. But I don't like pumpkin pie, it's too mushy. I also love chocolate. At a bake sale a few years ago I tried pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for the first time and they were amazing. Not sure why I waited until now to try making them for myself. Yes, pumpkin is normally a fall food. But I figured since we are having warm weather here, why not make some pumpkin treats in december? I browsed a bunch of websites and cook books and found a recipe that I liked online. I added a few things to it though. I will post my version of the recipe here. Warning: this recipe makes a TON of cookies.
Ingredients:
4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pice spice
1 teaspoon salt
1 can(15 or 16 ounce) pumpkin
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips
Start Cooking:
1. Heat over to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Put all ingredients, except chocolate chips, in a large bowl and mix on medium speed until well blended. Fold in chocolate chips.

3. Spoon cookies onto baking sheets. Bake for about 12-13 minutes, until edges begin to brown.

| finished cookies! |
4. Cool for a minute on the baking sheet then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling. Store in air tight container.
Tips and Hints:
1. Do not over bake; the cookies will turn out dry and hard(icky).
2. Why line the baking sheets with parchment paper? The cookies will not stick and it makes clean up easier.
