Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

The key to these cookies is using fresh squash puree. You can use your favorite variety, either pumpkin or another type of squash like butternut or kuri. Roasting and pureeing squash is relatively easy and if you choose a large one, it will yield more than what you need for this recipe. You can either double the recipe to use it all or freeze the leftovers for future use.
