Recipe: Pumpkin Cookies

This is from my Grandmother, Catherine Dean, a recipe she used to make for us when we were kids:

Pumpkin Cookies

1 cup mashed pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp milk
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Combine pumpkin, sugar and oil. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Add pumpkin mixture to sifted flour mixture, along with 1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 tbsp milk. Mix well. Stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips and 1 tsp vanilla. Drop by teaspoonful onto lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake in 375 degree F. oven for 10-12 minutes.
