Mix together:
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup applesauce
Add:
• 2 eggs, beaten (or just add one egg at a time and mix thoroughly)
• 2 cups canned pumpkin
• 2 tsps vanilla
• 2 tsps milk
In a separate bowl, stir together:
• 4 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 tsps baking powder
• 2 tsps baking soda
• 2 (generous) tsps cinnamon
Add dry ingredients to wet, then stir in 1 12-ounce package chocolate chips. I prefer semi-sweet, Josh likes milk chocolate, so in this one, I will allow for either taste (in most cookies I demand semi-sweet!)
Drop by teaspoonsful onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 min. Makes 4 1/2 to 5 dozen cookies.
