Cookies!

So I promised to try to post the recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin cookies…and I finally remembered to do it! Even those who claim to dislike pumpkin are wowed by these- they’re incredibly delicious. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. They’ll probably be the first thing I bake when I return home. Note: I don’t have the exact recipe that I use out here with me, but after much research, these one seemed to be the closest to mine. I would recommend adding a little pumpkin pie spice if you have some in the pantry. I have also experiment with using canned pumpkin pie filling as opposed to plain canned pumpkin with great success. 

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine flour, oats, soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter, gradually add sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
  5. Alternate additions of dry ingredients and pumpkin to butter mixture; mixing well after each addition.
  6. Mix in chocolate chips (I usually mix by hand at this point because my mixer is so full).
  7. Bake 12 minutes or until cookies are firm and lightly brown.

I have two pie pumpkins I need to process NOW, so I was furiously looking for this recipe to make again. I had no idea it had been so long! Glad I found it!
