Cookie Recipe:
1 cup butter, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup organic sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup pureed canned pumpkin
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup good semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large jelly roll pans with parchment paper or grease well. In a large electric bowl fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter and sugar. Add pumpkin and egg. In another medium size bowl whisk together the flour, soda, powder, salt and spices. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Using a spoon, scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet until pan is full. Bake for 10-12 minutes. While the cookies bake, make the frosting.
