Normally I'm not a fan of "cake" type cookies. They just seem non-cookieish to me. However, these pumpkin cookies are divine. After eating too many dozen to count I had to ask my friend for her recipe. I amped it up just a tish but the heart of the cookie is still there: PUMPKIN.
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
15 oz pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cream together the sugar and the butter. Add the pumpkin, vanilla, and the egg; mix until blended. Add the flours, spices, baking powder and baking soda; mix until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoon on to cookie sheet. Bake at 350* for 12-15 min until done and lightly golden brown.
I used homemade pumpkin puree for these cookies, if you use pumpkin from the can your cookies will be a darker orange in color. If you choose to make your own puree, make sure you place it in cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer and let it sit for a couple of hours to get rid of the excess water, otherwise it will be too runny.
