Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Pumpkin Chip Cookies Recipe

Today was the first day of school which means that it’s time for Pumpkin Chip Cookies in our household!

Without fail, whenever I talk about these cookies, someone asks me for the recipe.  So I thought I’d share it here again, and spare you the trouble of asking. 🙂

My Mom tells the story that this was the only thing that she knew how to make when she got married.  And really…if there was only one recipe I could bake, I think I might just choose this one.

I’ve shared the recipe with you before, but here’s a re-cap in case you’d like to steal borrow it.  (Thanks to my sister for writing it up for us!)

Pumpkin Chip Cookies

1 cup pumpkin                         1 tsp. cinnamon
1 beaten egg                             1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable oil              1 tsp. milk
1 cup sugar                              1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour                              1 cup chocolate chips
2 tsp. baking powder             1/2 cup crushed walnuts
1/2 tsp. salt
Combine pumpkin, egg, oil and sugar; beat well.
Sift flour with baking powder, salt and cinnamon; stir into pumpkin mixture.
Mix soda and milk together; add to mixture.
Add vanilla, chocolate bits and walnuts.

Drop from teaspoons onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. (I like mine a little gooey, but you might prefer them a little more well done.)

Warning: You may or may not be able to eat an entire plate of these cookies in one sitting because you may or may not convince yourself that they are healthy due to the addition of pumpkin, which is a vegetable afterall.  (Or is it a fruit?)  Either way, it’s gotta be healthy, right?

    I LOVE pumpkin chocolate chip cookies but I have never attempted to make them, afraid I would be disappointed. I made these today and they are Amazing! My husband Loved them and he hates every cookie except oatmeal raisin. Thank you so much for this recipe!

    Oh my gosh, those look good! I’m eating grain-free, but that picture SO makes me want to throw some flour in a mixing bowl and go for it!
