                      Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies


     Here's one I just found a couple days ago.  Makes 4 dozen.  Haven't tried
it yet, but it sounds good.

1/2 cup margarine, softened              1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed       1 cup pureed cooked pumpkin
1 egg, beaten                            1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour                         1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder                      1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg                           1/2 salt
1 cup (6oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips   1/2 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease baking sheets.
Cream margarine with sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.  Blend in pumpkin,
egg, and vanilla.  Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and
salt.  Add to pumpkin mixture and blend well.  Stir in chocolate chips and
nuts.
Drop batter by heaping teaspoons onto prepared sheets.  Bake until lightly
browned, about 12-14 minutes.  Remove cookies to wire rack and cool completly.

Note:  This might be good with 1/8 - 1/4 tsp of ginger, too.  I have my own
pumpkin cookie recipe that I may try with chocolate chips.  Will post that
recipe, too.
