Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars

Okay so the cookies in the picture aren’t bar cookies.  They aren’t even from the same recipe.  But my camera is not working  so I thought this photo would be better than none at all.  You will have to imagine soft, cake like bars with that pumpkin-chocolate goodness.  Sounds good doesn’t it?

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 cup flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill gluten free baking flour)

1 teaspoon cinnamon
