These cookies are a healthier version of my favorite pumpkin chocolate chip cookies by eliminating the egg and oil and replacing them with nonfat plain Greek strained yogurt.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, and yogurt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add the flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and stir until combined. The dough will be wet and sticky. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Take 2 tablespoons full of dough and drop onto a cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough. When finished, try to shape the dough to resemble a cookie. It will be hard to do since the dough is so wet and sticky. The cookies dough should be round and flat and smooth, resembling close to the finished baked product because the cookies don't spread much during baking and will rise up. It helps to work with the dough if your hands are freshly washed and slightly damp.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown.
