Pumpkin White Chip Bars

It's fall. So, that means it it time for pumpkin! I love baking with pumpkin. Not only does it taste great, but it makes everything so moist. These bars are very good and the recipe will be going in the keep pile. The original recipe called for adding macadamia nuts, but I opted to leave them out.

Pumpkin White Chip Bars
Ingredients:
2c flour
2tsp ground cinnamon
1tsp ground cloves
1c butter or margarine, softened
1/2c sugar
1/2c brown sugar
1c pure pumpkin
1 large egg
2tsp vanilla extract
2c white morsels
2/3c coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 15x10in jelly-roll pan.
Combine flour, cinnamon, cloves, and baking soda in a small bowl. Beat butter and sugars in a large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in pumpkin, egg, and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in 1 1/2c morsels and nuts. Spread in prepared pan.
Bake 18-22 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.
Place remaining morsels in heavy-duty plastic bag. Microwave for 45 seconds. Knead bag. Microwave at 10-15 second intervals, kneading until smooth. Cut tiny corner from bag. Squeeze to drizzle over bars. Cut into bars.
