For those of you who know me... you know I know pumpkin, and these cookies are at the top of my list. So here is a great recipe.

3 cups pumpkin

2 eggs

1 cup oil

2 teas. baking soda

2 teas. baking powder

2 teas. ground nutmeg

2 teas. ground cinnamon

2 teas. vanilla

1 teas. salt

3 cups of sugar

5 cups of flour

1 bag of milk chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together well...then add the flour. Fold in choco chips. Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes. (depending on your oven)...it makes a lot! (thank goodness cause i can eat a lot)
