Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I LOVE cookies. Cookies are my downfall. I could easily eat a whole batch of cookies and think nothing of it. I also love pumpkin, and it is most definitely pumpkin season. So …. I combined these two loves of mine, and made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. YUM!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I added the chocolate chips as an after thought, and I am so glad I did too. They just came together with the addition of the chocolate chips. They would have been very good without the chocolate chips, but they came out GREAT with the chocolate chips.

Preheat the oven to 350* F or 180* C.

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup or 2 sticks softened butter

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1 tsp vanilla

1 bag chocolate chips

Cinnamon Sugar

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Combine the 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.

Mix all the dry ingredients together and set aside.

Beat the butter and sugar together, then add the egg and vanilla, and mix again. Add the pumpkin and mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture half at a time, mixing in between each addition.

When the dough is made, fold in the chocolate chips.

Get about 1 TBPS of dough and roll into a ball, then roll into the prepared cinnamon and sugar. I like to flatten my cookies before baking them. I prefer crunchier cookies to softer cookies, but this is just my preference.

Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and are done to your liking. Let them cool for about 5 minutes before removing them to a baking rack, then allow them to cool more.

These cookies are so good. They are just perfect for fall. I am hosting Thanksgiving again this year and am already starting my baking. Let’s see if these delicious pumpkin cookies make it until then. It will be a real and true test of my self discipline. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
