Pumpkin Chip Cookies

From Auntie Judy

1 14oz can (1 3/4 cups) pumpkin
2 c sugar
2 beaten eggs
2 T milk
1 c vegetable oil
2 t vanilla
4 c unsifted flour
2 t baking soda
4 t baking powder
1 t salt
2 t (up to 4) cinnamon
1-1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 c walnuts (optional)

Mix sugar and pumpkin in large mixer bowl. Beat in eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Without beating, add flour, soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in that order. Then mix into batter. Stir in cc’s and walnuts. Drop by large tsps on lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 Farenheit for about 14 min.
Do not overbake — cookies will not really brown except on bottom.

Makes quite a large batch, so I usually freeze about 1/2 of them.
