Best Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

– Don’t forget to Pin it!

I mentioned over on Facebook that my Mom, sisters and I make a TON of cookies every year.  We do this for gift bags for our neighbors, co-workers, etc. and it’s always a fun way to really get into the Holiday spirit.

One of my personal favorites of all of the cookies that we make is a recipe I actually got from a friend (Thanks Annette!).  Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies and they are SO SO SO good!   You have just enough sweet but not too sweet and they are a cakey, squishy cookie that I could eat to the point of being dangerous, ha!

So on to the recipe…  (I doubled this recipe yesterday)

What you will need:

1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. canned pumpkin
1 t. vanilla
1 egg

2 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt

3/4 c. chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 c. chocolate chips

I haven’t even done the recipe with the walnuts — but I am sure it would be tasty!

Directions:

1. Cream the butter and sugars together until fluffy.
2. Add pumpkin, egg and vanilla. Mix well.
3. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in another bowl.
4. Gradually add it to the wet ingredients. Add walnuts and chocolate chips.
5. Bake at 350 on an un-greased baking sheet for 10-12 minutes.

Check with a toothpick – depending on the size of your cookies it may take a bit longer.   This recipe makes 4-6 dozen (all depending on the size!).

Enjoy!
