Thanksgiving

Once again it is the time of the year when the air seems fresher, our surroundings seem more beautiful and we find ourselves wanting to stay in bed longer. The leaves this year were brilliant, especially the reds and oranges. Just beautiful. Yesterday I made a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that turned out to be delicious, so here is the recipe and happy thanksgiving.

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cups dark chocolate chips
3/4 cups walnut pieces

In a bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and cinnamon; stir into creamed mixture alternately with pumpkin. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
