PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP SOFTIES



Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Softies image

Soft, cake-like, chocolately pumpkin goodness! I make these vegan by using egg replacer and for the flour I use a combination of whole wheat and all purpose. Recommended: eat them warm!

Provided by thesinglebite

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 30m

Yield 12-15 cookies, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups flour (I use a combination of all purpose and whole wheat)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
0.5 (15 ounce) can pumpkin (just shy of a cup)
1 egg (or vegan egg replacer)
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • In another bowl, add brown sugar, graulated sugar, vanilla extract and oil. Stir to combine. With a mixer beat in pumpkin, then egg (or egg replacer). Slowly beat in the dry ingredients until everything is combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet and bake 12-14 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin. Not all pumpkins are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a sugar pumpkin, also known as a pie pumpkin. These pumpkins are smaller and sweeter than other varieties, and they have a smooth, fine-grained flesh that's perfect for baking.
  • Cook the pumpkin until it's very soft. This will ensure that the pumpkin is easy to mash and that the cookies have a smooth texture. You can cook the pumpkin in the oven, in the microwave, or on the stovetop.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they're golden brown around the edges. The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin chocolate chip softies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for fall. They're soft and chewy, with a sweet pumpkin flavor and plenty of chocolate chips. They're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
