Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies - Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that are chewy and soft, loaded with pumpkin and chocolate chips. Easy recipe that you can bake at home with great results.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I am incorporating a new ingredient pumpkin into my cooking and baking recipes.
A few days ago I baked the Nutella swirled pumpkin bread, which my family enjoyed very much.
I still have a big can of leftover pumpkin sitting in the fridge, so I decided to try out this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe by Sally’s Baking Addiction.
I was actually not sure about the idea before I baked these cookies because I have never used pumpkin in cookies before…but as soon as these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies were out of the oven, my son couldn’t wait to try them out and I realized that I had a keeper recipe.
He loved it and ate two right away.
He just loved the soft and chewy texture, and the best thing, since these cookies were not super crispy, they were absolutely no crumbs to clean up after he ate the cookies!
The next morning, my son asked for two more for his breakfast, before he went to school. In a few days, he finished all of these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
The sweet thing is that he doesn’t even know that there are pumpkin inside the cookies. He has refused to eat any mushy food such as mashed potatoes, pumpkins, kabocha since he was two years old, so this is a victory!

can I use fresh pumpkin mashed? is there any special processing method for the pumpkin??
I think you can but the canned pumpkin is a bit loose.
