How to make Spiced Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
Pumpkin puree: You need to use pumpkin puree not the pumpkin pie filling. If you don't have canned pumpkin puree in hand use homemade pupmikn puree .
Flour: I used all purpose flour, you can use also use a mix of whole wheat flour and all purpose flour
Egg: I used ½ of one large eggs, you can skip that too if you don't want it .
Sweetner: Both granulated sugar and brown sugar is used in the recipe. granulated sugar gives sweetness and brown sugar bring out flavors when it combine with pumpkin puree.
Leaveners : This recipe has both baking soda and baking powder which give lift to the cookie while baking.
Spices: I used Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, all spice and cloves.
Vanilla extact: This cookies is also flavored with little vanilla extarct
Chocoalte chips : I used semi sweet chocoalte chips. you can either use min chocolate chips too.
How I made Spiced pumpkin Chocolate chip Cookies ?
First add softend butter and cream with sugar, then add egg, vanilla extact and pumpkin puree. Then add flour spice mix and finally fold in Chococlate Chips.
If you are planning to make small cookies then go for 1 tablespoon dough
The Cookies came out really soft with cake like texture, and flavored with the taste of spices and chocolate chips it is wonderful. My kids loved it; they skipped their lunch to eat these cookies. Pumpkin puree did an awesome job of making them into soft cake like cookies. I was amazed to see that there is no overpowering pumpkin taste and it was subtle in the background.
If you want you can glaze the cookie with either creamcheese sugar frosting or simple frosting made with confectioners sugar and milk.
Try it you will like it, they are really tasty and yummy.

My husband loves soft, cake-like cookies so I might just have to make these for him. I don't make a lot of cookies because they always come out thin and crispy. Love the "healthiness" of these with the pumpkin and of course the spice sounds perfect! Speaking of the time change - I wish we didn't do it at all! Let's just stay on normal time all year. 🙂
Swathi says
Give it a try MJ you will like it, yes I am feeling better now.
