pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

SOOOOOO... i totally stole this recipe from a friend. thanks debi for sharing!!! they were delicious!!!

DRY
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt

WET
1 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 15oz can pure pumpkin
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla

MIX INS
1 12 oz bag semi sweet chocolate chips
1 c. chopped walnuts (optional..I don't use them)

GLAZE
1 c. powdered sugar
1 T. milk
1/2 t. vanilla

~Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray your baking sheet or stone with non stick spray, wipe off excess. You want a slightly greased surface for these cake like cookies. This needs to be done for the first batch only.
~Combine DRY ingredients, stir to mix.
~Cream together the butter and sugar with mixer.
~Add remaining WET ingredients.
~Gradually add in the mixed DRY ingredients, beating until you have a thick cake like batter. ~Stir in your ADD INS.
~Using a small cookie scoop, drop onto your greased baking pan or stone. Your dough will be thick, sticky and cake batter like. Bake 18-20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Your cookies will be cake/muffin like in texture. Remove from oven, allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
~Meanwhile, combine GLAZE ingredients. Stir until a smooth glaze forms.
~Spoon or pour the glaze into a sandwich baggie, squeezing it all down into one point. Snip the point with scissors and use as a decorator bag to zig zag glaze across cooled cookies. (or you can spread the glaze on with a knife)
~Glaze will set within 30 minutes. Makes 3 dozen cookies. Enjoy!
