Chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
These delicious pumpkin cookies are loaded with chocolate chips, and they're soft and chewy--not cakey--just like a cookie should be!
Servings: 3 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 2 3/4 to 3 cups flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together butter and sugars for 5 minutes with an electric mixer on high speed. Add vanilla and pumpkin and beat 3 minutes more.
- In a medium bowl stir together salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice and 2 3/4 cups of flour.
- Mix dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture. If dough seems very sticky, add up to an additional 1/4 cup of flour.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop by large, rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookies sheets. Flatten the cookies slightly with the palm of your hand before baking (use a slightly damp hand if the dough is sticking).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to brown.
