Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are just like the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from Harmon’s Bakery. A great treat to celebrate the fall season or any time of the year!

1 ¾ cups white sugar

½ cup vegetable oil

1 ¾ cups (15 ounces) canned pumpkin

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon lemon extract (optional)

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon ground cloves

1 to 2 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips 

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add all the wet ingredients to a large bowel and mix well. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Drop large spoonfuls of cookie dough onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tap cookie tray against the counter-top to force cookies to spread slightly. Bake for 9-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies.
