Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

As promised, the follow-up pumpkin recipe.  Soooooo goooooood!  Makes about 2-3 dozen cookies.

Chocolate chip pumpkin cookies: 
2c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cloves)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter (room temp)
1 c sugar
1 egg
15 oz pureed pumpkin
1 c chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together dry ingredients, except sugar. Cream butter and sugar in a separate bowl. Add egg. Add alternatively the flour mixture in two parts, adding the pumpkin puree in between. Do not over-mix! Dough will be somewhere between cookie dough and muffin batter texture. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop dough by heaping Tbsp onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or Silpat mats if you have them). Space cookies about 1.5'' apart (do not spread much while baking). Bake approx 15-20 min until edges are golden and cookies are springy to the touch.
