Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love pumpkin and have taken this recent bout of wonderful fall weather as a reason to defrost one of my containers of pureed pumpkin from last year.

This recipe was amazing -- the cookies have more of a cake-like texture than a traditional cookie but are a hit for those that do and do not prefer softbaked cookies.

1C pumpkin puree

1/2C brown sugar

1/2C canola oil
