Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Being the absolutely incredible wife that I am, I usually bake goodies for Jarrod to take to work 1-2 times a week for his co-workers. This week I did a variation of my dark chocolate pumpkin muffins (haven't given out that recipe....it's my secret weapon and I don't want people to know how easy they are to make!). I whipped up some dark chocolate pumpkin cookies and they're super yummy! The recipe calls for semi-sweet, but we always put dark chocolate with pumpkin. The world just wouldn't be right if we didn't.

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
2 eggs
3/4 C. oil
2 C. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. ginger
4 C. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 T. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 (12 oz) pkg. semi sweet chocolate chips

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix the pumpkin, eggs, oil, sugar, and spices until well blended. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Combine with the wet; fold in chocolate chips.

Drop onto a lightly greased cookie sheet (I only use my pampered sheet baking stone, makes a big difference!). Bake for 11 minutes with a regular oven or 9 minutes with a convection oven. Remove immediately from pan and cool on a wire cooling rack.
