Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies


I was trying to create a new cookie for fall so I decided to try adding pumpkin to my chocolate chip cookie recipe.  

Below is the recipe I came up with - note that the recipe is for a large batch but the dough can portioned and frozen.

2 1/2 Cups of Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
1 cup (2 sticks) Butter
3/4 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs
2 cups Chocolate Chips
1/2 tsp. All Spice
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg

The wet ingredients get mixed (including pumpkin and spices).  The sifted dry ingredients get slowly incorporated and finally the chips are mixed in.

The 2 1/2 cups of Flour is just an estimate; more might be needed if the mixture seems wet.  Also, more or less baking powder can be added; more makes the cookies airy and cake like while less makes a more chewy cookie.
