Nunbelievable Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Ingredients You’ll Need
These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are absolutely saintly. They’ll fill your tummy with joy, and they’re the perfect seasonal treats to share with your family while cuddling up and watching a movie on a chilly night.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to bake these sweet Fall treats.
Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, you’re ready to start prepping!
Let’s Make Some Dough
The first step in preparing your cookies is to preheat your oven. That way, it’ll be ready to go by the time you’ve finished making your dough. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit – perfect cookie-baking temperature.
Next, combine your flour, baking powder, and cinnamon with a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Starting with these dry ingredients gives you the foundation for your dough.
Once the dry ingredients are mixed, take the bowl from your electric mixer and use the mixer’s paddle or whisk attachment to combine the vegetable oil and brown sugar. This mixture will be combined with the dry ingredients shortly to make your dough.
Next, add the egg and pumpkin puree to the mixer and blend them with the sugar and oil. For the final components of your dough, add the mixed dry ingredients from your separate bowl to the mixing bowl. With your electric mixer set on low, blend the dry ingredients with the rest of the mixture to form your dough.
To add the finishing touches to your dough, add the chocolate chips to the mixture and gently blend them with the rest of the dough. At this point, you’ve got the foundations for your batch of incredible cookies!
Prepping Time
Once you’ve got your dough, it’s time to portion it in even amounts to get the perfect-sized cookies. For a batch of 30 smaller cookies, you can use two tablespoons of dough per cookie. If you want, you can cut the size of your batch in half and get 15 double-sized cookies by using four tablespoons of dough per batch – it’s up to you!
Portion your dough out on sheets of parchment paper. To keep your cookies from baking into each other, space them out by a few inches (remember, they’ll get bigger as they bake!). Once your cookies are evenly portioned on baking sheets, stick them in your heated oven.
Your cookies should only need less than 15 minutes to get slightly crispy and be perfectly baked. It’s best to keep an eye on your batch past the ten minute mark in the oven, looking for changes in texture and color. You want to aim for just a little bit of dark color around the edges of the bottom of each cookie, but not too much! Overdoing it in the oven will leave you with burnt, and sometimes ruined, cookies.
Once the batch looks ready, carefully pull the baking sheets out of the oven, protecting your hands with mitts. The cookies will need an hour or so to cool and settle before they reach their perfect texture, but they can be eaten sooner if you like them extra soft and chewy!
These delicious pumpkin cookies can be stored in the fridge or freezer and enjoyed for about five days. They’re the perfect treats to share with your loved ones, and you can easily whip up another batch if you run out!
Cleaning Up
Cleanup after baking this recipe is, thank heaven, incredibly quick and simple. You’ll likely only have used a few bowls and utensils to prepare your dough, so a few quick rinses in the sink or dishwasher will leave you with a spotless kitchen once again. Your baking sheets can easily be cleaned by removing the parchment paper and gently scrubbing the surfaces of the sheets with a soapy sponge.
This recipe is no-nonsense to the max, using minimal ingredients, utensils, and bowls. We wanted to make it as quick and simple of a recipe as possible, so that you can enjoy baking these delicious cookies even when you’re on a tight schedule!
