Pumpkin Chip Cookies

This one was also from last fall :)

I am not usually a fan of pumpkin and chocolate together, but a friend asked if I would make some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.  I looked up a few recipes, and, of course, made a few modifications of my own ;)  

They actually turned out quite tasty!  This recipe is a "half" recipe which made 2 1/2 dozen cookies, but if you'd like to use the whole can of pumpkin, go ahead and double everything!  Please also note that I never measure spices (or most other ingredients when I cook) so when I write out a recipe, I am generally approximating. 

Pumpkin Chip Cookies

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

½ cup sugar

1 egg

½ 15 oz. can pumpkin

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/8 tsp. mace

1/8 tsp. ground cloves

½ tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. baking soda

1 1/8 cup flour

1 cup semi-sweet chips

1/2 cup white chips

1/2 cup walnuts

Melt butter and mix in sugar.  Then mix in the egg, pumpkin, and vanilla.  

Add dry ingredients - flour, soda, salt, baking powder, and spices (mixed separately or not, your choice).  Mix in the chips and walnuts.

Drop by teaspoonful on greased cookie sheet.  If using parchment paper (which I recommend), spray it lightly.

Bake at 375 for 15 minutes.  Cookies will be firm to the touch, and slightly browning at the edges.
