Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Fall is my favorite time of the year to bake. There are so many amazing fall flavors to try! My favorite combination is pumpkin and chocolate. These Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delicious example. There are lots of ingredients, but these cookies are not hard to make. They have lots of spices, which makes them the perfect fall treat.
Ingredients
(Yields about 20 small cookies)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
6 T pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until the mixture is lump-free. Add in the vanilla and pumpkin.
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and spices in a large bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula.
Fold in chocolate chips. It is a little tricky to get them to stick to the dough, but do your best!
The next step is very important: chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Once the dough is chilled, form it into balls. I made these cookies quite small (about 1-1.5 T dough each) using this cookie scoop. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake! The cookies will look under-baked, and they will not spread out much at all in the oven. Press them down lightly and allow them to set up on the cookie sheet.
