Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients
4 eggs
1 cup chocolate chips
Dry
3 1/2 cup flour
3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp nutmeg
1 1/3 tsp cinnamon
Wet
1 cup vegetable oil
1 can pumpkin
2/3 cup water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs well. Add all dry ingredients other than chocolate chips. Add the wet ingredients. Gently fold in chocolate chips.

This recipe can be made into bread or muffins. 2 large bread pans will require at least an hour. Depending on your oven it may need longer - the middle can be gooey. Regular muffins will take 40 minutes and mini muffins will take 20 minutes - these don't end up gooey.

Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/4 cup flour
2/3 cup baking cocoa
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 to 3 Tbsp milk
(Optional)1 to 2 cups baking chips, any flavor

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add vanilla and eggs. Add flour, baking cocoa, salt, and baking soda. Add just enough milk to mix easily. Add any desired chips. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

My go to flavor for this recipe is peanut butter chips. Vanilla and/or chocolate is also a classic. Mint works really well, too. My written recipe doesn't actually list adding the chips at all and I haven't made these recently. Honestly, I think I dump the whole bag in!
