1 c. cooked pumpkin
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil
1 egg
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda dissolved in 1 tsp. milk
1 c. semi sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix together pumpkin, sugar, oil and eggs. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; add to pumpkin mixture together with dissolved soda and milk; mix well. Add chocolate bits and vanilla. Drop by teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. (I double the recipe to use a 16 ounce can of pumpkin.)
