The mornings are starting to be crisp and we're pulling out our scarves and hoodies from the back of the closet.
Don'tcha just love fall?
I particularly love the scents and tastes of fall.
Sipping on a Pumpkin Spice Latte,
munching a (few) Gingerbread cookies,
smelling my Harvest Yankee Candle,
brewing up a batch of apple cider,
and that crisp morning smell promising frosty mornings arriving soon.
Are you in a fall mood yet?
NO?
OK, for all of you still mourning the loss of Summer, here is my never-fail fall mood inducer:
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and stir in. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
- Add vanilla and chocolate chips and lightly stir until combined.
- Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown.
- Eat liberally with extra large iced glass of milk.
There, that should help you get your AUTUMN on...

I may have to start singing "Wind Beneath My Wings" to you for posting this recipe. I LOVE all things pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if this recipe can have substitutions made to it so it would be friendly for kiddos who are allergic to eggs? I know that some cookies just don't work when you use the substitute.
ReplyDeleteI have made a recipe very similar to this for a couple of years now. They are so soft and cakey. Yum yum! Thanks for sharing your version. Love them! :D
ReplyDeletePerfect timing! I just made pumpkin muffins (while burning my pumpkin spice candle) and I have an extra cup or so of pumpkin that I wasn't sure what to do with. Can't wait to try these - thanks!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm... I'll take 3 please.
ReplyDeleteAutumn is such a delicious time of year.
ReplyDeletePumpkin choc. chip cookies are probably one of my favorite fall treats EVER!! But I may try your recipe this year JUST to switch things up a bit ;) They ARE mighty tasty (Becca did give me a sample on her last visit ;)
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Thank you so much for sharing them with me. And you are right- they are even better warmed up in the microwave. Yum. :)
ReplyDeleteJust made these. Delish!
ReplyDeleteI made a batch of these and brought about 2 dozen in to work - half of them were gone by 9am, so apparently the people I work with aren't opposed to cookies for breakfast :) I just got a request for the recipe too. Thanks for posting it!
