How to make Pumpkin Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies. 

These pumpkin cookies are easy to prepare. Just make sure you have all the ingredients on hand. For pumpkin recipes, I usually like to make the pumpkin puree in advance, freeze it in small batches and have it ready for whenever I want to use it. 

Toast the walnuts or pecans and cut into smaller pieces and set aside until ready to use. Whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside. 

Mix butter with both sugars until creamy. Mix in the egg and pumpkin puree. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture. Add toasted nuts and chocolate chips if used and refrigerate the dough for at least two hours. 

Use an ice cream scoop to take equal portions of dough and place on baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden around the edges. Make sure you don’t overbake the cookies. They will harden as they cool.
