Pumpkin Chip cookies
This recipe makes enough dough for 100 cookies. If you don't want to bake 100 cookies right away, you can shape the extra dough into logs and freeze.You will need:
6-7 Cups Flour
3 tsp. Baking Soda
3 tsp. Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp. Salt
4 1/2 Cups Sugar
3 Sticks of butter at room temperature
1 Can ( 3 Cups) Pumpkin
3 Large eggs
3 tsp. (or more to taste) Vanilla
Chocolate Chips to taste (LOTS)
Start with 6 cups of flour, or use all 7 cups if you would ike to frost these cookies. Be careful not to add too much flour, or the cookies with be too dry. Using all 7 cups will make the cookies easier to handle while frosting.
Mix together all dry ingredients, and set aside. Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer, then add eggs, pumpkin and vanilla. Start adding the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Be careful not to over mix the dough! Then add the chocolate chips, and just barely mix until they are throughout the dough. Over mixing will make the dough dry or tough.
Drop teaspoons of dough onto geared baking sheets or silicone mats. The small cookies will grow to double their size, and should make about 100.
Bake at 350* for 10 minutes, or 15 if you choose to make larger cookies.
Cream cheese frosting is yummy on these cookies!
