Pumpkin Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies For The Win!

So for October I did say that I was going to bake a pumpkin dessert every weekend for the whole month. I've been slacking on that part, I've just been baking other things. Technically I'm on track because I did bake these last week, but I need to make two more pumpkin things. Well these are really simple to make and they really taste like fall. The interior is cake like in texture and the spices are warm and inviting. 

Pumpkin Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ok let's go over what you need.

Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 1 large egg yolk 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/3 cup canned pumpkin NOT pumpkin pie filling
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon each ground cloves and nutmeg
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups  all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup chocolate chips

First mix your white and brown sugar together

Take your stick of butter and microwave it until it is liquid.

Melted Buttttttttteeeeerrrrr!

Take your sugar mixture and whisk it into your melted butter

Add in your vanilla and egg yolk, and whisk until smooth

you can save the egg white for breakfast

Now add in your pumpkin

Whisk it all up.

Add in your spices.

Mix whatever spices you like

In a separate bowl mix together your flour, baking soda, and salt.

Mix all the dry ingredients together

 Pour your flour mixture over your wet mixture.

Keep whisking, it will be tough, just switch to a wooden spoon

 Mixture will be thick and now stir in your tummy chocolates

why are chocolate chip cookies so good?

Yeah I ate some of this dough... I'm a bad person

 Preheat your oven to 350F




Place your dough on your parchment or silicon mat lined baking tray (I refrigerated my dough for about 30 minutes)

I used a little cookie scoop to save time

 I gave these a little roll

rolled into bite sized balls

Bake for 9-12 minutes

Leave them on the tray for 2 minutes

Then let them cool on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes.

These are so good and they make your home smell wonderful too.

This is what they look like when your don't roll them in a ball

I love this plate and all the yummy chocolate

Still yummy but not as pretty, I also made these a tiny bit bigger. I think these are cool to make when you are just at home and you want a fall cookie. You also don't need any fancy kitchen gadget just a whisk and a wooden spoon.
