Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies don’t just look amazing, they taste like a warm hug on a chilly evening. You’ll want to keep your friends close and your cookie jar closer!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper – because nobody wants a sticky situation!
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, both sugars, and softened butter. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and lovely.
- Crack in those two eggs and add the vanilla extract. Stir it again until everything is dancing together and harmonious.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This is where the magic begins. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until it’s just combined – don’t overwork it; we’re not training for the cookie Olympics!
- Now for the pièce de résistance: chocolate chips! Fold them in gently, making sure each chip is nestled in that pumpkin goodness.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, giving them some space so they can spread out as they bake (cookies need their own personal space too!).
- Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look set. Your kitchen will smell like pure joy!
- Once baked, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Then, try not to eat them all in one sitting – but no promises!
And there you have it! A cookie that not only captures the essence of fall but also provides that sweet chocolatey goodness. Perfect for sharing—or not! We won’t judge if they all mysteriously disappear!
