Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. With an electric mixer beat the butter, applesauce and sugar, add the egg and beat again, add the vanilla and pumpkin and mix for 1 minute on medium speed. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Slowly add the dry to the wet and mix on low until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Spray or line a baking sheet and place spoonfuls leaving at least an inch between each cookie. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden and springs back when touched. Remove and let cool. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
