Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
This amazing pumpkin chocolate chip cookies recipe will become an often requested favorite in your house.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium-sized bowl, and mix.
- In a separate large bowl, add all wet ingredients: egg, vanilla, pumpkin, and oil. Mix until well combined.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Let batter set for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of cookie dough onto a greased baking sheet.
- Lightly wet the tips of your fingers to pat down the cookie batter, then carefully place 3-4 extra chocolate chips on the tops of the cookies before baking to make them look prettier.
- Bake for 10 minutes (time may vary with different ovens).
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack.
Notes
- Watch out when you are at the grocery store that you buy pure pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling.
- Make sure not to overmix the dough or your cookies will flatten out too much.
- Use a layer of parchment paper for easier clean-up instead of just greasing the pan.
- Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your cookies as the suggested baking time approaches.
- Make sure not to underbake your cookies or they will come out raw in the middle. Overbaking will result in cookies that are not soft.
