Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper sheets (or lightly grease the cookie sheet if you don’t have parchment paper).

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine pumpkin, sugar, oil, vanilla and egg. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda with the milk. Add both the dry flour mixture and the wet baking soda mixture to the pumpkin mixture. Mix well.

Step 4

Add in the chocolate chips and nuts and stir until evenly combined.

Step 5

Using a medium cookie scoop(medium scoop is equal to 1 1/2 tablespoons), drop mounds of the cookie dough on the prepared cookie sheets.

Step 6

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
