It is not often that I find a dessert recipe that I like so much that I will make it again and again. I am usually always on the hunt for “the best ____” and let me tell you, these ARE the best pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!
Here is the recipe:
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 cups chocolate chips
How to:
Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with Silpat or parchment paper
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.
Using a mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar and sugar. You want to beat it until it turns light in color and a little fluffy, usually 4+ minutes.
Then add vanilla, pumpkin puree, and egg. Mix to combine.
Add the flour mixture in 2-3 batches. Mix after each.
Add chocolate chips and stir until combined.
Using a large spoon, scoop a heaping spoonful and place it on the baking sheet. They won’t spread much when you bake them, so you can fit them fairly close (I was able to do 12 per pan).
Cook for 10-12 minutes or until outsides slightly brown. You want to pull them early-ish so they keep their softness!
Repeat until all cookies are cooked. Cool on rack and store in an airtight container.
Enjoy :-)
Expect to make 32-36 cookies.
