YOU WILL LOVE THESE PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

If there is one thing I do not mess with it is a chocolate chip cookie. Well, not since my girlfriends reminded me not to leave the kitchen when the mixer runs. And, I certainly never thought to add pumpkin puree to my chocolate chip cookie dough.

But with pumpkin season just around the corner, it seemed like the right time to step out of my box and try this pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe.

YUMMY PUMPKIN AND CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Many (most) of my recipes have a test run and then a “do-over” recipe. The second one is where I read and follow the recipe’s instructions.

I have a well-documented track record of misreading recipes or adding substitutions. One of my favorite episodes on Friends is when Rachel starts with an English trifle and ends with a shepherd’s pie. Girl, I get it.

So I glanced over the ingredient list for these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and I had EVERY ingredient in my pantry including the pumpkin puree.

This is like a message from above that says, ‘Laura you are cleared to bake.”

Seriously, how often does that happen where you don’t have to run to the store and spend $87.00 when the only things on your list are a carton of eggs and a stick of butter?

RECIPE DETAILS

I like my chocolate chip cookies chunky so my scoops of pumpkin cookie dough batter were generous. I reduced the baking soda by a smidge because of the altitude.

The result was thicker pumpkin and chocolate chip cookies. I do love a dense chocolate chip cookie.

SEMI-SWEET + MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS

For this recipe, I added a combination of milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips. I love the combo of the two types. To keep my pantry balanced I always buy one of each.
