Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

So, being close to Thanksgiving I wanted to make some holiday goodies.  Actually I put my daughter Skye to work in the kitchen to make the first batch of these delightful cookies!  I first came across these when my cousin cooked them and gave me some.  I was in heaven!  They are so fluffy and delicious. I love the texture and above all the taste.  Since my kids love chocolate I decided to add some chocolate chips to the batter.  The kids loved them and so do I, that could be dangerous!  I hope you will try these soon.

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking soda
