Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares

1/2 C butter, softened, or vegetable oil (usually I use canola)
1.25 C sugar
2 eggs

1.5 C pumpkin puree (or other winter squash) (pre-cooked)

1/2 C white flour
2 C whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda
1.5 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cloves

1.5 C chocolate chips

Combine butter/oil, sugar, and egg, mix well.

Stir together white flour, spice, baking soda, add to mixture.
Add whole wheat flour alternating with pumpkin puree.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Grease and flour a 9x13 baking pan.  Bake at 350 for 35 min, until
a toothpick comes out clean(ish - a few crumbs are OK).  (I don't
bother to check anymore, just take out after 35 min.)

Can use 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice instead of individual spices.
