Pumpkin Chocolate Chip

Mykelin actually found and made these, she might make these her recipe, but till then... They are the best pumpkin cookies ever! "Just like little moist cakes". I was asking her to make me some cookies for YW, but she said she was tired of chocolate chip, peanut butter, snicker doodles, and sugar cookies, she said she will make any other kind of cookie.... I was proud of myself for thinking of pumpkin! She doubled this, and it made enough cookies!
