Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

MMMM! It's October and you HAVE to celebrate the season with Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies! This recipe is easy and yummy and I found the secret to making BIG cookies. If you want to bake big cookies, only put 6 cookies on the sheet to bake (and for regular size cookies, you should only put 9). I don't know why, but it works.

Amy's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup pumpkin
1/2 cup oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups white flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions
1 Mix sugar, pumpkin, oil and egg.
2 Add vanilla.
