Erin's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe #102660 | 25 min | 15 min prep | add private note

Our family "adopts" many new people as they enter our lives through the military, college, work, etc. I always ask them to bring a "family tradition" dish with them when they attend holiday meals and then we incorporate their traditions with ours. I have gathered many favorites over the years by doing this and there is a fond memory attached to each recipe. This cookie came from a college friend of my cousin Jane. It is simple in flavor (not too sweet) and is like a cake cookie.

4 dozen (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar and shortening.
  3. 3
    Add pumpkin and egg and mix again.
  4. 4
    In a small mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
  5. 5
    In a condiment bowl or small cup, dissolve baking soda into milk.
  6. 6
    Add baking soda mixture to dry ingredients and blend.
  7. 7
    Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet, add vanilla, and mix well.
  8. 8
    Fold in chocolate chips.
  9. 9
    Drop by heaping teaspoons onto cookie sheet.
  10. 10
    I line the sheet with parchment paper.
  11. 11
    Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden around bottom edges.
  12. 12
    This makes a small batch (I am guessing about 4 dozen) I often double the recipe with no problem!

Mmm these are fabulous. They're even better when they've cooled off. My new favorite cookie...and everyone loved them.

    I think these should be renamed Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Cakes. They are really good, but the texture reminds me more of a cake than a cookie, which is great. I made a few changes...I used whole wheat flour instead of regular, added a little bit of nutmeg (not sure how much...I just sprinkled some in), and I added and extra teaspoon of vanilla. I didn't line my cookis sheet with parchment paper since I didn't have any. I also ended up cooking each batch for 12 - 14 minutes. They don't have an overwhelming pumpkin flavor, but you can taste it and they are really good. I will definately make them again. Great for Halloween since the cookie is orangish and then you have black chocolate chips! Yum! Thanks

    When I first tried these warm out of the oven, I was going to give them 4 stars, but after eating them one day later, I give them 5 stars! The flavors come out more the 2nd day. I thought they weren't sweet enough and didn't have enough spice when they were freshly baked, but now I think they are perfect. They are very moist soft cake-like cookies that are not too sweet and have a light pumpkin flavor. To me, they are semi-healthy because they don't use very much shortening or sugar. These are perfect for fall, thank you for posting these!
