PUMPKIN SPICE MOLASSES COOKIES

PUMPKIN SPICE MOLASSES COOKIES
This recipe was on the back of Pumpkin Spice pumpkin flavored morsels with cinnamon and spices.  We really liked this recipe.  Kept them in the fridge.  Would be good frozen.  Found the chocolate chips in the stores around November.

2 1/3 cup flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1 1/3 sugar, divided
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup pumpkin
1/4 cup molasses
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 2/3 cups (10 oz pkg) Nestle Pumpkin Spice Morsels

Preheat oven to 350.  Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or baking sheet.

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger in medium bowl.  Beat 1 cup sugar and butter until creamy.  Add pumpkin, molasses, egg and vanilla; mix until combined.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.  Stir in morsels.  Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.

Shape tablespoons of dough into 1 1/2" balls and roll in remaining 1/3 cup sugar until coated.  Place 2" apart on prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 11-13 minutes or until cookies look cracked and edges are set.  Cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes; remove to wire rack to cook completely.
