Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
 I feel too jittery to sleep, so I made some cookies. ...in the spirit of the upcoming holiday seasons!! They're so yummy and not too sweet! Still have all morning to wait for my u/s (it's only 5 my time). Guess I'll keep eating until then. 
1C canned pumpkin 1C sugar 1/2C vegetable oil 1 egg 2C flour 2t baking powder 1t baking soda 1/2t salt 2t cinnamon 1t milk 1T vanilla 1.5 C semi-sweet chocolate chips (or less as it tends to be a lot) 1/2C chopped walnuts (optional) Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla& egg. Then stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon & salt. Dissolve the baking soda with the milk & stir in. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture. Mix. Add chocolate chips & nuts. Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet. Bake 350 10 minutes or until lightly brown&firm. note: add 3-4 drops of red food coloring to mix to give them an orange pumpkin color. overcooking still leaves them chewy and delish! |

You are evil, Jo!!  How am I supposed to stay on a diet with these kind of temptations??
J/K of course. 
They sound scrumptious!! Wish I could make them sugar & fat free.  |
| They actually don't sound THAT bad for you, aside from the 1/2 cup oil. You could use the splenda baking sugar for the sugar and maybe even try substituting some applesauce for some of the oil. And you gotta have SOME fat in your diet! |
| How does that applesauce substitution work? I mean ratio wise? Is it one for one? |
| I think so. It has been awhile, and I should start doing that again.
It does work too! Jo - that recipe sounds wonderful!!!  |

I think so too. I'm a HORRIBLE baker, though, so don't listen to anything I say! |
| I don't really cook but when I saw the title I had to come check this out!!! So, who's making these for me? |

My sentiments exactly-- I had to check 'em out, too. They actually look easy enough for me to make. Play your cards right, and there could be some at the specialty with you name on it. Actually, if I omit the chips on some, we can share with the dogs.  |
| YES!!!!! |

Jill, don't forget there will be other people who would enjoy some homemade cookies  |
| Ohhhh my gosh those sound yummy Joah...mmmmm....I think I can smell them from here! Wishful thinking! |

Besides, maybe not eating them will be the treat, not a punishment, lol. |
 Sounds absolutely awesome.
Conversion needed what is the measurements for C in the receipe. ? I am presuming T means Teaspoon. So would C mean cup ? Can it be done with Fresh mashed pumpkin or Pumpkin Soup ? I do pumpkin scones with the mashed cooked Pumpkin would that be the same for this one ? |

(tsp for teaspoon) Let us know how they turn out. yummy! |
| yes, you can substitute the fresh pumpkin for canned. I always use my own from the garden. |
| T: tablespoon
lowercase t: teaspoon
I bet it would taste better w/a little nutmeg too! Mine are almost gone. |
Thanks J., I thought 1/2 Tablespoon for salt WOW 
Now I know |
| Well, other than a whole cup of sugar......at least you got fiber from the pumpkin! Baby bean is going to have a sweet tooth! |
| Okay - got the apple crisp made last night and just put the last batch of doggie cookies in the oven, so now I'm starting on these. They just sound too good not to try them.
My neighbors, family and co-worker are going to be the beneficiaries of lots of yummy treats. I just love this fall weather!!  After the long, hot, summer, we finally got two days of cool, autumn temps. It's only supposed to be 77 here today. It was so crisp & clear this morning, I just had to bake something. |
| These cookies are delicious! YUM!!
I doubled the recipe, so I have a bunch of them. I packed some up and took them to the neighbors, gave them to my parents when they came for dinner last night and brought some to my co-worker today. So far, rave reviews from everyone.
You need to try them. |
| yay!! makes me feel good that you liked them.
my husband isn't a fan of any sort of pumpkin cookie or cupcake i make. |
| I really do like them. They're not terribly sweet and they have an unusual texture for a cookie because of the pumpkin. I used splenda and applesauce instead of sugar and oil, so they are not very fattening either.
Also, I was thinking that you could use dried cranberries instead of chocolate chips. I think they'd be good with pumpkin, too, and even less fattening. |
| I'm glad that you think they're good--I wanted to make them all weekend but I was too lazy to turn on the computer to get the recipe |
