Eat Skinny Be Skinny: Pumpkin Chip Cookies
…and I’m back!! I know, I’ve been MIA since Thanksgiving. I’m sorry, with a jam-packed schedule while in Charleston, I just haven’t had time to write. I promise, it won’t happen again! But I couldn’t have picked a better time to write my first post back from the holiday. As I was catching up on my twitter feed, I noticed that my idol, The Pioneer Woman, was tweeting a lot with the hashtag #cookieweek. After doing some stalking, I found that some of my favorite other foodies were also posting delicious cookie recipes! So, thank you Pioneer Woman, because I needed a great lead in for these delicious cookies I made last week! This brainchild was a result of a leftover can of pumpkin and an insatiable craving for chocolate chip cookies. And the result? AH-MAZING. The pumpkin gives each cookie a soft, moist texture and the chocolate adds just the right amount of decadent sweetness. Another amazing thing about these cookies, besides the taste? I made them on Wednesday and they are still just as moist today as they were then. This is my definite new go-to cookie! Recipe can make up to 36 cookies, depending on size.
Pumpkin Chip Cookies
What You’ll Need:
- 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
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
How To Make Them:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, and egg.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix the baking soda with the milk and add to the flour. Add pumpkin mix to the flour mix and stir well.
- Stir in vanilla and chocolate chips. [This was the hardest part, mainly because I had to do it super fast b/c Elliot kept eating all the chocolate chips!]
- Drop spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet and bake until cookies are browned and firm.
