3 pumpkin desserts that will make you forget all about traditional pie

Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies recipe

These cookies are the most delicious chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had. They are so easy and are a huge crowd favorite. My father-in-law, who hates all things pumpkin, could not stop eating these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. To make these even more decadent, drizzle with melted milk chocolate and dip in toasted almonds.

Yields 24 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Cooking spray

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
2. Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil and egg. Mix until combined. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda. Add milk and vanilla extract to flour mixture.
3. Add pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and mix until fully combined. Add in chocolate chips.
