Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies


Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
I made cookies as my contribution to a Pre-Thanksgiving Potluck at work earlier this week. This is the first of 5 recipes I baked for it and all the cookies were a success. The Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is adapted from Food Network. I reduced the baking soda by 1 teaspoon, added more Pumpkin Spice, and used Dark Chocolate Chips instead of Semisweet ones. If you do not have Pumpkin Spice, check out my recipe here to make your own. The cookies are soft, moist with a cake-like texture, and chewy. They have the perfect balance of pumpkin spice and dark chocolate. See recipe below.

Once dough has formed, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1/2 hour or chill in fridge for 1 hour.

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form and place dough balls on baking sheets spacing 2 inches apart.

Bake for 13-15 minutes or until cookies are set and slightly browned around the edges.

Wait 3 minutes and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
