Pumpkin Chip Cookies

Pumpkin Chip Cookies

This is a fun Autumn twist on a classic cookie. It comes together so quick and easy. This is always a crowd pleaser and so much fun for the Fall season.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup butter Crisco
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin pureé
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips or cream cheese flavored chips

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Set aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, cream together Crisco, sugars, and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl after each addition.
  5. Mix in the pumpkin.
  6. Mix in flour half a cup at a time.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips.
  8. Scoop cookie dough by rounded tablespoon onto your prepared baking sheet. Make sure dough balls are about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 8-1o minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for about 5-8 minutes. Enjoy!

*Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.

*If cookies have risen in the center, lightly tap your baking sheet on the counter to get them to flatten.

*I like to line two baking sheets with paper and alter them as the previous cookies are cooling. This helps you already have a sheet prepped and ready to go before the  others finish baking. However, you can still only bake one sheet at a time, or they will not bake properly.

Makes about 46-50 cookies
