Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For perfectly uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure dough.
- Make sure your baking sheets are lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp edges and soft center.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie right after baking.
- These cookies freeze beautifully - store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
