PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES INGREDIENTS
This combo of ingredients doesn’t get any better!
- golden melted butter
- rich brown sugar and white sugar
- pure vanilla extract
- pumpkin puree
- flour
- semi sweet chocolate chips
- nutty oatmeal
- and a glorious combo of sweet fall spices
- plus the usual baking soda and salt
Substitutions Tips
You don’t use or have some of these ingredients on hand then try these…Swap margarine for butter. No real vanilla, use imitation vanilla instead or try using almond extract. Milk chocolate or white chocolate chip would be just as good as semi-sweet chips. Leave out the oatmeal and add 1/2 cup more of flour.
If you don’t have all of the spices listed in the recipe card and have pumpkin pie spice then use that. No need to buy all those spices when you have pumpkin pie spice on hand. Lastly, DO NOT USE CANNED PUMPKIN PIE FILLING…your cookies will come out mushy.
HOW DO YOU MAKE PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
These cookies are so simple to make! No mixer reguired!
STEP ONE…Melt the butter in the microwave, let it cool a little. Whisk the sugars together, add to cooled melted butter and mix. Add the vanilla and pumpkin puree and mix.
STEP TWO…In a second mixing bowl, whisk the flour, oatmeal, baking powder and soda, and spices together. Add the wet butter-sugar combo to the flour combo and mix until just combined.
STEP THREE…Add chocolate chips and stir with a rubber spatula a couple of more times until all incorporated.
STEP FOUR…Chill dough for a least an hour in the refridgerator.
STEP FIVE…Roll spoon fulls or desired amount into a ball, place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Flatten out the ball slightly and then add a few chocolate chips on top and then sprinkle a few grains of course sea salt on top.
STEP SIX…Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. When slightly cooled transfer to a wire rack to cool.
COOK’S TIPS
Don’t over mix the dough. Whisking the dry ingredients together before you add the wet ingredients really cuts down the need to use an electric mixer.
Lay the pumpkin puree on a paper towel for the extra moisture to be absorbed.
After cookies are completely cooled, store them in an air tight container or heavy zip lock bag.
Enjoy!!!
