Place sugar and eggs in bowl of mixer.

Beat until well mixed.

Add oil, pumpkin and spices including vanilla.

Mix until all is incorporated. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well.

Add chocolate chips and mix them in.

Place a piece of parchment paper on tray.

Make 3 semi/logs on tray. Dough will be sticky and will form into actual logs easier if you refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

Form into 3 flat logs, smoothing sides.

Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 25 minutes. (dough should feel firm). This is a more cakelike mondel bread. It will not get hard and crispy.

Let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

Slice, top with cinnamon sugar and bake for additional 5 minutes.

Let cool and enjoy!
