Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

You know those pumpkin choco-chip cookies you make from a spice cake mix? Well, I hate those things. I was so glad to get a good home-made recipe. These cookies are amazing!

1 c vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp mapleine
1 tsp salt
1 large can (29 oz) pureed pumpkin
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp allspice
5 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 pkg MINI chocolate chips

Preheat oven 375 degrees.
Cream oil, sugar, vanilla, mapleine, and salt.
Add eggs and pumpkin.
Beat well until mixture is fluffy.
Mix in spices.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder.
Blend until incorporated.
Add chocolate chips.
Dough will be a cake like consistency.
Spoon onto a lightly sprayed cookie sheet.

Bake on 375 for 13-15 minutes.
Remove from cookie sheet to cool.

This recipe make approx. 100 cookies. (I halved it and had plenty!) They freeze well.

Options: Add currents, raisins, craisins, chopped nuts, or white chocolate chips in place of chocolate chips. Try icing with a butter cream frosting and topping with chopped nuts.

The end result????????
