Spiced Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare the baking surfaces by applying a thin layer of cooking oil or non-stick spray, ensuring they are free from any residue.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until they achieve a smooth and airy consistency.
4
Introduce the egg into the mixture, blending it in until fully incorporated. Then, incorporate the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract into the mixture.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, blending until well combined.
6
Add the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips to the dough, stirring them in until evenly distributed.
7
Scoop out small portions of the dough onto the prepared baking surfaces, using a spoon to drop them by the size of a teaspoon.
8
Place the cookie dough in the preheated oven and bake until it reaches a light brown color on top, taking approximately 15 minutes.
9
Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool on wire racks to prevent them from becoming soggy.
