Pumpkin Cookies

Fall means pumpkin and this week I have a recipe for in which pumpkin is the star ingredient.

What You’ll Need…

1 Cup (2 sticks)Butter (Softened)

1 ½ Cups Packed Light Brown Sugar

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 ¾ Cup Pumpkin Puree

2 ¼ Cups All-Purpose Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

½ Teaspoon Salt

1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice

2 Cups Chocolate Chips or Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Squares (Optional)

Pre-heat your oven to 375°F.

In a mixing bowl beat butter, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add the pumpkin and stir well to combine.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.  Add the dry ingredients to butter mixture, and stir until well combined.

If you are using chocolate mix it in now.

Spoon teaspoons of dough onto a greased baking sheet.

Bake at 375 for 11-13 minutes. Allow the cookies to sit on the sheet for 1-2 minutes after being removed from the oven before moving them to a cooling rack.

Enjoy!
