Dark Chocolare Chip Pumpkin Cookies

Dont let the batter fool you.... these cookies do bake up nicely, and pretty cake-like. They are so good, you will be back for seconds or more in no time!!


Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 (16 ounce) can 100% pure pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) bag 60% cacao chocolate chips (semisweet works too)

Methodology:
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets.

2.Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice together in a mixing bowl.

3.Beat the butter and sugar together in a second mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth and well blended. (I used my Kitchen Aid Mixer.. used the Whisk attachment for the butter to sugar, then switched to the regular mixing paddle for the rest. )Mix in the pumpkin and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring to make a smooth batter. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoon-sized spoonfuls on prepared cookie sheets.

4.Bake in preheated oven until edges are golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool briefly on the cookie sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Yield: About two dozen or so… give or take 
