Pumpkin Pie Spice Cookies

"These quick and easy pumpkin pie spice cookies are soft and flavorful, with pumpkin puree, vanilla, and semisweet chocolate chips. They are a family favorite and a must-make this time of year. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes before gently moving them to cooling racks. These are soft cookies. Lightly press a few chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies before baking for a tasty presentation. Make the first batch a test run and bake one or two cookies. This helps establish baking time. If the cookies spread too much, refrigerate the dough for several hours. If they don’t spread enough, gently press them down with a small piece of parchment paper. "
