Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
From Cornwall Manor’s Executive Chef, Lee Flanick

Ingredients
1.5 cups brown sugar- packed
¾ cup softened butter
1 cup pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1.5 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp cloves
¼ tsp nutmeg
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1.5 cups chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Cream brown sugar and butter and mix only until it’s incorporated. Add the pumpkin, vanilla and eggs. Mix just until incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix and sift the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips.

2. Add the dried and sifted ingredients (bowl #2) into the mixing bowl that contains the butter/sugar/pumpkin mixture. Add chocolate chips and mix. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes and do not overbake. Cookies will appear to be rather soft but they will set up when cooled.
