Great Pumpkin Cookies

J and I made these at her house last weekend. :)

1 c. butter (room temperature)

1/3 c. granulated sugar

1/2 c. + 2 T. packed brown sugar

1 c. canned pumpkin

1 egg

1 t. vanilla

2 c. flour

1 t. baking soda

1 t. baking powder

3/4 t. cinnamon

1/4 t. allspice

1/8 t. nutmeg

1 c. chocolate chips (approximately)

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease cookie sheets.

Cream butter and both sugars until light. Stir in pumpkin, egg, and vanilla. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and spices. Stir into batter to make a medium dough. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop by spoonsful onto cookie sheets. Bake for 10-ish minutes, watching carefully, until done. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes before removing to racks or plates to cool completely.

Store: in an airtight container

Freeze: if desired

Mail: no; they grow stale too quickly

These are most delicious warm, but do not lose their charm after cooling.
