1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
15 oz pumpkin puree
4 oz chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375. Whisk together flour, baking powder and soda, pie spice and salt. In an electric mixer beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until smooth. With mixer on low, alternately add flour mixture in two parts and pumpkin puree in one, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix just until combined. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons onto two baking sheets, andut 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until puffed and edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool. When cookies have cooled, pipe melted chocolate over the cookies. (melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave and place in a baggy and then cut 1/8 inch hole in the corner) Chocolate will firm up in about 20 minutes.
I double the recipe so that I can use a whole can of pumpkin.
