Just Like Big Nana's Pumpkin Chip Cookies

As a child, every year for Christmas my 'Big Nana' gave me a pair of homemade mittens with quarters in them and a plate of pumpkin chip cookies. I always ate the cookies cold from the fridge. I looked forward to them every year and this recipe tastes just like the ones I remember.
