Pumpkin Waffles and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today, I'm doing two recipes because I always keep big cans of pumpkin on hand. I open the can and It's always more than I need for one recipe so I always have to make something else to use the rest of the pumpkin before it goes bad.

The first recipe came from a lady at church and the second from a girl in one of my french classes. They are both amazing tasty recipes and great for the fall. Enjoy!

• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon of salt

• 1 ½ cups milk
• 1 cup pumpkin
• ¾ cup margarine, softened

Combine first 6 ingredients. Separate the eggs and beat yolks slightly. Add the milk, pumpkin, margarine, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture. Fold the egg whites into pumpkin mixture. Bake in a waffle iron.
