I asked ChatGPT to give me a recipe for the World’s Best Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. Here is what it gave me.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are a delightful treat, especially during the fall season. Here’s a recipe to make these delicious cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 C 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 C granulated sugar
- 1 C canned pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 C all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 2 C semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 C chopped nuts optional
- 1/2 C raisins or dried cranberries optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the canned pumpkin, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips. If desired, add chopped nuts and raisins or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and the edges are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies have cooled, serve and enjoy! They’re best when eaten on the same day, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
