Yes, I have been absent from my recipe blog for awhile, but I do have a two month old son now! In honor of fall and one of my favorite October/November recipes, I am sharing this classic for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I hope you enjoy! I have no idea where this recipe came from, but it's great.
Marsha's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
- Cream together sugar and butter.
- Add pumpkin/squash, baking powder, soda and salt.
- Mix in flour, cinnamon and last the chocolate chips.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Frost with cream cheese frosting (click here for recipe).
Marsha's Notes:
Cream cheese frosting here: https://1brother2sisters.blogspot.com/2010/10/cream-cheese-frosting.html
If you are looking to use the entire can of pumpkin and the entire brick of cream cheese for the frosting, just double both the recipes.
Using my two-inch cookie scoop made the perfect sized cookies, baking 12 to a sheet. They also make for a smoother appearance on the top of the cookies, as opposed to using a couple of regular spoons to portion the dough. (Compare the above images from different batches.) Scooping the batter this way made a total of about 36 cookies, or three full cookie sheets.
