Pumpkin Cookies

These cookies are a fall classic, and definitely Anthony's favorite cookie. His mom has made these cookies since he can remember, and she even sends them in the mail to her kids when they're away at college. Only use Libby's Pumpkin--the store bought kind doesn't work, I've tried.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. solid pack pumpkin (Libby's)
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
6 oz. chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl beat together butter and sugar. Add egg, pumpkin and vanilla and mix until light and fluffy. Mix in dry ingredients until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheet. If you haven't invested in one of those silicon mats, I suggest you do. My cookies turn out so much better when I use it. Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
