Pumpkin Cookies

Nelson brought this recipe home from school a week ago and I finally got around to making them this morning.


1/2 Cup butter or margarine
1-1/2 Cups sugar
1 egg
1 Cup cooked or canned pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chocolate chips

1. Cream butter and sygar together until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in egg, pumpkin and vanilla.
3. Mix and sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture.
4. Add chocolate chips and mix thoroughly.
5. Drop by teaspoons onto well-greased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
6. Remove from cookie sheets while still warm and cook on wire racks.**

** I line my cookie sheets with aluminum foil, remove the foil with the cookies on it to cool.
