Pumpkin Chocolate Cookies-Bakery Style-Smiths style

 When I went to Smiths this morning to shop, I saw their pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and I wanted to buy them but they were set to expire in two days and I didn't want to eat them if they were that old, so I thought I would go home and try to make some like them.  I searched on google for bakery style cookies and found this one, I made them and they are yummy!

Bakery Style Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

from togetherasfamily blog:


1 cup pumpkin

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil

1 large egg

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour (i added 1/4 to 1/2 cup more)

2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chocolate chips to put on top of cookies before baking

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare two cookie sheets with sil pat liner or parchment paper

In large bowl, combine the pumpkin, sugar, brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla extract

Mix with wire whisk or can use hand mixer

In small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, ginger and ground cloves. Stir together with a whisk and then add to the pumpkin mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together until there are no flour streaks.


Add in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and stir to combine. 

Scoop out about 1/4 cup dough and place six dough balls on each cookie sheet

Bake 10 to 14 minutes  (I started at 9 min), you do not want any of the cookies to look wet or raw, as no one likes soggy pumpkin dough, so just make sure they are evenly cooked, and let them cool 10 min on the cookie sheet.  They do soften up as you store them.  Can store at room temperature.

Here is the web site  I found these on: 

and these cookies turned out very yummy, at first I made too big of a dough ball and they were big like pancakes! so you may want to experiment with the size of dough ball at first!
