2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

These cookies are really yummy! I think this recipe calls for a few less spices than most of the other pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipes I've seen, so they may not have as much spice. But they still make your house smell super yummy and they're very tasty! Enjoy!
