So I'm not sure which it is - I have a pumpkin deficiency, or the wee babe I'm growing has a pumpkin deficiency, OR these cookies are really just THAT good. Whatever the case, I cannot keep my hands out of the these delightful treats. When we got married my sweet grandma passed on a whole collection of her cookbooks to me. I found this recipe in one of them. The books are so old and so cute - and Robin, I could totally see them on display in your kitchen, except for that you don't cook, so maybe not.



Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 C. butter (sounding good already, eh?)
2 C. sugar
1 15 oz. can pumpkin
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
4 C. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1 1/2 C. chocolate chips (the recipe ACTUALLY has raisins and chopped nuts here, but really...)


Cream butter and sugar. Add pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, and next 5 ingredients; add to batter and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips ( or raisins and nuts, blah blah). Bake at 350 for 11-13 minutes. Makes about 5 dozen.




Just look at this baby!



And the best part - Grammy even signed the inside. Don't you love how Grandmas sign everything? THANKS GRAMMY!
