Chocolate chip pumpkin cookies

For my birthday (in about a week -- eep!), I am planning to make some cookies. Since I love pumpkin-flavored things, I found this seemingly easy recipe for chocolate chip pumpkin cookies online:

CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN COOKIES
INGREDIENTS:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 tsp. cinnamon (substitute pumpkin pie spice)
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 (16 oz) can pumpkin
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp. milk
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add pumpkin, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 375º F for 13-14 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

I think this will be a nice treat -- it is like a chocolate chip and pumpkin bundt cake my sister once made that I liked. I hope these cookies turn out OK since the oven here is a little strange...I am also not sure if what I have is baking soda or baking powder...hmmmm...we'll see when I make these on the 15th!

Waaaah, souffle!! I just know that after eventually eating one I will totally be unamazed -- I think I have built souffles up too much in my mind and they will just be a disappointment...but I still want to eat one!
