Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe:

Follow these simple steps to create a batch of soft, flavorful cookies that will make your fall season even cozier.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Add Baking Soda Solution and Vanilla: Stir in the baking soda dissolved in milk, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Portion Dough and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The centers should still look slightly soft for a moist, cake-like texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
