Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

Fall means a ready supply of pumpkins.  Rather than just carve them for Halloween, try a new pumpkin recipe!  This one is absolutely delicious.

  • 1⅓ c sugar
  • 1½ c whole wheat flour
  • 1 c butter
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1¾ c fresh cooked pumpkin
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ¾ lb semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2½ c white flour
  • ¾ c chopped walnuts

Cream together sugar, butter, pumpkin and vanilla extract.  Mix until light and well combined.  Mix the flour, baking soda and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.  Sift the flour mixture into the creamed mixture.  Mix until combined.  Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.  Drop by teaspoons onto an ungreased baking sheet.  Bake 12-15 minutes at 375F.
