Chewy Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Cookies
Description
Chewy Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Cookies use pumpkin puree and a blend of spices typical for pumpkin pie, paired with cinnamon chips spread throughout the dough. The dough is made by creaming room-temperature butter with both brown and granulated sugar for sweetness and moisture. Pumpkin puree adds softness and a mild pumpkin taste. The flour mixture contains baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt to complement the flavors and ensure proper texture. After mixing, the dough is formed into large balls and baked at 375°F. The result is a tender, chewy cookie with cinnamon chip bursts that add sweetness and texture.
The cinnamon chips create pockets of sweetness that contrast nicely with the pumpkin and spices. These cookies work well as a seasonal dessert or snack. Their substantial size means you can enjoy one or two for a filling treat.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 15 tablespoons butter at room temperature
- 1 cup dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 1/2 cups cinnamon chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth - about 1 minute. Add in the sugars and vanilla and beat on medium-speed until light and fluffy; about 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin puree and beat until it's just combined, about 45 seconds. Gently fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula, stirring only until the flour begins to disappear. Fold in cinnamon chips.
- Roll 3 tablespoon-sized balls of dough between your palms to form a ball (they should be big; almost a 1/4 cup), then place on prepared sheet (make sure to leave enough room in between each cookie for inevitable spreading). Continue this process until all the dough has been rolled.
- Place baking sheets in preheated oven and bake for 15-16 minutes, or until golden at the edges and set in the middle. Allow cookies to cool for 30 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire wrack to cool completely.
