Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

As I mentioned in my post the other day, I am very much excited about fall.  In order to hold me over until the pumpkin spice latte debuts next week, I decided to get my fall baking started.  I found this great recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!

They small amount of pumpkin puree in the recipe was the perfect amount to give it a nice orange color and nice flavor, and makes them moist and chewy without taking on the cake like quality of a lot of baked goods made with pumpkin.  It's a quick and easy recipe that I will definitely be revisiting throughout the fall.  I shared them with friends and it got across the board rave reviews!


Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies 

Ingredients














  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1¾ cup flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp allspice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions


















1.  Cream butter and sugars together until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla, stir until combined. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Slowly add to pumpkin mixture. Fold in chocolate chips.










2.  Refrigerate dough for a half hour or more before baking.

3.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

4.  Scoop balls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the edges are firm. Remove from oven, and let set on the baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes, before removing to a wire rack.

5.  Once completely cool store in an air tight container.
