Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I just made these last night and they turned out really good! They definitely have more of a cake texture than cookie and are best hot out of the oven or chilled in the fridge. I got this recipe off allrecipes.com but modified it a little according to reviewers comments:

• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (you can substitute applesauce)
  
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp. nutmeg (recipe doesn't call for nutmeg but I love the taste and several people used their own mixtures of spices. 2-3 tsp. of whatever combination you want seems to work)
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and stir in. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
2. Add vanilla and chocolate chips
   
3. Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.
