Mmm...As my sister Holly said it best...nothing screams fall like a pumpkin cookie. But not just a normal pumpkin cookie, one with chocolate chips. Oh yum! I could eat a bunch of these and well the pumpkin in them is good for you, the flour, sugar and crisco shortening is not.
My mom used to make these every fall when I was a kiddo, at least that's what I remember. She made me a book of my favorite recipes and I was glad this was in it. Moms know their kids well. I wanted to share with you. They are so easy to make!
Pumpkin Cookies
Cream: 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of crisco shortening
Add: 1 cup canned pumkpin (not the pumpkin pie filling)
Sift: 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add to creamed mixture.
Add: 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and 1 cup chocolate. chips.
Drop by teaspoon onto baking sheet.
Bake 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
Mmm... sounds good. Might have to make these. We got some small pumpkins yesterday and decided we need to make something with them. The kids would have a blast turning their pumpkins in to cookies... and it would be a completely new experience for me haha!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these things!
ReplyDeleteThose look yummy! I made pumpkin cookies recently but I didn't think to put chocolate chips in them. I need to try that next time! You can never go wrong with chocolate! :)
