→ Chocolate Dreams
12 -
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
03 -
Beat in the pumpkin puree and oil until well combined.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
05 -
Stir in the chocolate chips.
06 -
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
# Notes:
01 -
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps create thicker cookies. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze the dough for later. If you don't have pumpkin puree, try using mashed sweet potato or butternut squash. Drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled cookies elevates them to a whole new level of deliciousness.
