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)
DIRECTIONS
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.
Add vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts.

Hey Lara! The cookies look really good. Pumpkin cookies just taste better this time of year. I will try this recipe. It looks good. Can't wait to see you. Are you going home for Thanksgiving?
I knew you could do it...they sound yummy. Be prepaired to make some chocolate cip cookies when you come home.
You had mentioned in a post that you wanted to change Broadbent to Lara and Tyler, I hope it's ok if Dad and I made the change.
I'm sure Provo is still in mourning over the BYU game..too bad they lost.
Love you guys.....
Lara - They look yummy! This is so funny...I was looking for a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe yesterday!! Great timing! I'm going to make these today, I bought my canned pumpkin thinking I would look for the recipe later. Go Lara Stewart!
What can I say, I basically have all the skills to be Martha's assistant! j/k :) They are so yummy and so easy to make. Tyler has eaten half the batch already :) Those pumkin pancakes look delish! I'll have to try them.
Rudy- ya, we are going to try and go home for thanksgiving. It's looking like it's 90% sure we're going home. I wish you guys could hop on a plane and come too! We can't wait to see you for Christmas!! It's going to be the best Christmas!!!
Love you all!
Congrats, Bear - I knew you'd never let a cookie get the better of you. They do sound good, even with the pumpkin! You'll have to make them when you're down for Thanksgiving.
Anxious to see you!
