    Frosted pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are impressive. They combine what everyone loves about fall into a cookie. I mean, really. A pumpkin cookie. Talk about a win/win. They are also a delicious and wonderful fall dessert your family will love.

    They would be great to take to a bonfire or for the classroom fall party. Kids would love soft moist cookies with chocolate and frosting. You can just taste them, can't you?

    Oh yes, fall is right around the corner here and there are so many pumpkin recipe to enjoy such as pumpkin donuts and pumpkin ice cream rolls.

    Ingredients

    • flour, unbleached or bleached
    • baking soda
    • baking powder
    • salt
    • cinnamon
    • margarine softened
    • white sugar
    • egg
    • canned pumpkin
    • vanilla
    • chocolate chips
    • powdered sugar
    • margarine or butter
    • milk or almond milk

    I know it seems like a lot of ingredients, but it really comes together easily. You can use fresh pumpkin if you would like instead of canned. Here is tutorial on how to make pumpkin puree.

    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.

    Flour and cinnamon in a clear bowl.
    Start with the dry ingredients.

    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!

    egg, pumpkin puree and ingredients in a clear mixing bowl.

    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.

    The chocolate chips!

    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

    Should I flatten these cookies?

    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.

    How do I store these cookies?

    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.
