Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Beat oil and sugar in mixing bowl. Add eggs and vanilla, beating well. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt together. Add to sugar mixture alternately with pumpkin, beating well after each addition. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.

Would make this again.
I love this recipe it tastes so good however I do suggest a cream cheese frosting it tastes better. I made 60 cookies for my family of six and they were all gone. This was on Thanksgiving and I plan to make these every year. I also make them for christmas and much more theses cookies are not only amazing but they bring our family together. five stars

Would make this again.
I make these every year. I like them best fresh from the oven or warmed slightly. As other reviewers note, this is a very spongey, cake-like cookie and tend to get sticky-moist if left over time. My husband prefers them without the chocolate chips, but he dislikes chocolate. four stars

Everyone loved it! Mine came out very sticky and looking funny, but they were a hit anyway because they tasted so good! four stars
