Or maybe it is just the cookies.
This recipe yields a ton, about 3 dozen cookies or more depending on how big you make each, and although I think usually most homemade cookies taste best right out of the oven, these lil cooks might taste even better the next day. So there's plenty to share & be sure save some for tomorrow :)
What You'll Need:
- 4 cups flour (wheat or white, I used a mixture of both)
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 cups quick rolled oats (you can leave these out if you want to, I just love oatmeal in cookies)
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 cups melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
*sidenote: I never said these were healthy. But if you do feel like cutting out some calories/fat/cholesterol, you can substitute the butter for applesauce, & the egg for 2 egg whites.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the "wet" ingredients: sugar, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, & pumpkin puree & mix well.
3. In another large mixing bowl, combine all the "dry" ingredients: flour, oats, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, & baking soda & mix well.
4. Transfer all the "wet" ingredients into the "dry" ingredients and mix well.
5. Add in the chocolate chips & now we're talkin' (with our mouths full of cookie dough, of course).
6. Scoop out your cookies and place on baking sheet. I used an ice cream scoop & dropped dough balls on the sheet in about 1" chunks and pressed down on the tops a little. They look like they're gonna be teeny but they puff up quite a bit. Plus, smaller cookies have less calories so you can eat more. Duh.
7. Throw these bad boys in the oven & bake until the bottoms just start to get golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
8. Enjoy!
