recipe: pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
I haven’t baked cookies in months! With all the moving, traveling, job searching, and being sick, I honestly just haven’t made the time for baking sweet things. But all that ended when Rachel suggested I research some pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipes…
So, I’m going to make this really short and sweet (ha!). If you are looking for a seasonally relevant cookie + want to have a cookie that doesn’t contain any butter + love pumpkin + love chocolate, then this recipe is for you. The cookies are so soft and fluffy, and the flavor is outstanding. Plus, the entire process is super easy!

What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and stir in to pumpkin mixture.
- Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well. (For more consistent mixing, slowly add small amounts of the flour. I start with one cup flour mixture, mix thoroughly, and then add more!)

Perfect when served with milk! Enjoy!
