The cookies are very good and the recipe is easy!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup cooked or canned pumpkin
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 cup diced roasted almonds (you can use walnuts)
• 1 cup chocolate pieces

Directions:

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, pumpkin, and vanilla. Mix and sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture, and mix well. Add nuts and chocolate pieces, and mix thoroughly.

Drop by teaspoons onto well-greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets while still warm, and cool on racks.
