Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Every time I bake these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, my family goes wild! (especially my dad) These cookies are simple and delicious. It takes about 10-15 minutes to mix all the ingredients and then about 15 minutes to bake. I know that the next time you need to make a batch of cookies, you'll be the talk of the party.
