Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have included original recipe which Carrie and I enjoyed :) and then the alternate recipe one that I shared last night at the dress rehearsal, that was asked for by a couple ladies.

Ingredients

• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 cup white sugar (ALTERNATE I used Honey)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (ALTERNATE I used Applesauce)
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (ALTERNATE I Used Whole Wheat Flour)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) (I never put nuts in mine)

Directions

1. Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and stir in. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
2. Add vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts.
3. Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.
