Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a favorite that my mom used to make.  Perect for fall time and really easy.  All I needed to pick up was pumpkin!

1 can pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 tsp milk
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

In large bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, oil, and egg
In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt
Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture along with dissolved baking soda; mix well
Stir in chocolate chips and vanilla
Drop by spoonful on baking sheet
Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes

Note: it can be difficult to tell when the cookies are ready.  I recommend baking the full 12 minutes, let them cool and try one to determine if they should be baked less or more.
