Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Got this recipe from a cookbook compiled by my mother-in-law's congregation. I happily took the chance to double the recipe for you. You'll thank me later.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 c butter or margarine (I use unsalted butter)
3 c white sugar
2 eggs
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
2 tsp vanilla
5 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
2 c chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar. Mix in wet ingredients (egg, pumpkin and vanilla). Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl. Gradually mix dry ingredients in. Drop spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
