Pumpkin Chocolate Chip (or Cinnamon Chip) Cookies

Yesterday, I was in the mood for pumpkin chocolate chip (or cinnamon chip) cookies. I went to my files and got the only recipe I’ve ever made since I’ve been married. Shortly after getting married, my husband wanted pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, so he asked his mom for her recipe. That is the only recipe I’ve ever made since then. I’ve had no reason to do otherwise.
My daughter was allergic to chocolate, so when I made these I would usually leave some dough plain and make her plain pumpkin cookies. One day, I had some cinnamon chips in the house. So, I decided to add cinnamon chips to some of the dough for her. They turned out fabulous.
Now, I still prefer good old chocolate chips of course, but the cinnamon chips are a nice tasty change from the norm. I think if you use cinnamon chips, walnuts or pecans would also be a nice addition to this cookie.
