It's Pumpkin Season...

I noticed that 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' was on TV the other night and it got me to thinking that, other than Pumpkin Pie, I haven't really done any pumpkin baking this fall. Time for Sigrid's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies!

I've mentioned Betty's friend Sigrid before - she was a fabulous quilter, and an equally fabulous baker. This was her recipe:

Mix in a large bowl:
1 c pumpkin
1 c sugar
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 egg

Add:
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp soda mixed with 1 tsp milk
salt

Stir  in:
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c chopped nuts

Drop teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for 12 - 15 minutes.

The gals are getting together Saturday morning at the church to make apple pies for our annual fundraiser so these will be for their coffee break.....M
