How to make pumpkin cookies
The ingredients are few and the cookies can be whipped up rather quickly. They also bake quickly too so if you are in a hurry for an easy to make frosted pumpkin chocolate chip cookie, these would be it.
First, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and of course, cinnamon. I don't measure cinnamon that much. I'm kind of a dump it in and see what happens. But don't worry, I put a measurement in for you!
Then cream together butter and sugar. Next, add in the egg, pumpkin and vanilla. You will stir the flour mixture in the the pumpkin mixture.
Of course, the most important part, the chocolate chips. I would imagine the pumpkin would be the most important part but go with me on this. The dough is pretty hardy so no need to fold, you can stir in the chips.
You will need to grease
Place the cookies on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350*. The greased cookie sheet is different then normal cookies. With other cookies, you don't need to grease the sheet and it actually will make the cookies spread. These pumpkin cookies are different, so be sure to grease the sheet with a cooking spray.
Variations
If you are wanting to change things a little bit, instead of using milk chocolate chips, use white chocolate chips or caramel chips.
You could also frost these pumpkin cookies with a cream cheese frosting.
FAQ
Yes, when you put the cookies on the baking sheet, take a spatula and lightly press them down. They are a slightly larger puffed cookie.
When they are done baking, put them on a cookie sheet to cool. Then once completely cool, they will keep nicely in a covered airtight container on the counter.
