With a drop in the temperatures this week, I’m getting pretty excited about fall! It’s time to pull out my down comforter and favorite scarves, get ready to watch the leaves change, and enjoy nights by the fire with hot cider and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. To help celebrate this exciting fall milestone, we thought it would be fun to share this long-time favorite pumpkin cookie recipe. They’re sure to get everyone in your house ready to pull out the sweaters, scarves and mittens in anticipation of the season to come!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 c. butter (room temperature)
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1/2 can pumpkin
2 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 T. vanilla
6 oz. chocolate chips
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl combine the butter, sugar, egg and pumpkin.
In another bowl, combine the flour and the next six items (all the dry ingredients). Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture until combined. Add the vanilla, then fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Scoop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 13 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your little slice of fall heaven!
