Bakery Style Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by Tinkerbell

"The inspiration for this recipe was recipe #287236 posted by Lulabelle4822. They were great muffins but I was still trying to get closer to the local bakery's cookie recipe. I'm posting the recipe I've developed over several practice runs that I feel comes the closest to the bakery cookies. These make big, soft & slightly chewy pumpkin cookies loaded with chocolate chips. Delicious!"

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 24 cookies

ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1⁄2 cup butter (slightly melted)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

directions

1. In large bowl combine flour, sugar, spices, baking soda, baking powder & salt.
2. In medium bowl beat eggs lightly then add pumpkin & butter. Whisk until combined then stir in the chocolate chips.
3. Fold the wet ingredients into dry ingredients, just until moistened. Don't over mix.
4. Spread a sheet of parchment paper over cookie sheets & drop 2 Tablespoons of batter about 2-3 inches apart on parchment.
5. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes then cool on sheet for about 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool the rest of the way.
6. These freeze well also. I cool completely, then place back on cookie sheets covered with parchment & freeze for a couple hours. Then fill large ziplock baggies with them & put them back into the freezer.

Loved the Cookies! I actually doubled the recipe and used pumpkin pie spice. I also used 4 cups of canned pumpkin and a whole bag of chocolate chips. My family LOVES these!!!!

The 1st batch of 6 cookies I cooked were a little too moist inside (almost like bread pudding). So the next batch of 12 I made smaller & found it to be a little better. Then the last batch of 8 I added just a little rolled oats to get rid of the squishy texture & was happy.
