  • Whisk together dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugars, then add pumpkin, egg and vanilla.
  • Add dry ingredients a little at a time to wet ingredients and mix.
  • Stir in chocolate and nuts (option - don't add chocolate or nuts and just make pumpkin cookies or delete chocolate and make pumpkin nut).
