Cookie Monster loves me

Last night I decided to make some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.  (They are seriously yummy!)  I decided to double the batch to make sure we would have enough for our small group on Thursday night.  Doubling the batch was a bad idea!  I couldn’t even use my mixer to stir it because there was so much, luckily my buff husband stirred the batter for me.  It ended up taking me about 2.5 hours from start to finish (I didn’t even do the dishes yet because it was past my bedtime) and I estimate I made somewhere between 8 and 10 dozen cookies.  I wish I had more room in my freezer to store some of these.  To all the lucky people that live near me you will be getting some cookies.

Here is the recipe for those who are interested, I got it from my mom:

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mix together:

1 can pumpkin – 15 oz

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 cup cooking oil

Add:

5.5 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

Mix together then add to batter:

2 tablespoons milk

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons vanilla

Stir in 1 package mini chocolate chips.  Batter will be thick.  Drop heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes.

matt’s last blog post..Spiced Apple Pancake

Honey, the claws should not come out over misprelling a word.

I apporve-goodcookies, I think I ate 10 today but then again the day is not over.

I read about these on Meg's blog and now am definitely going to try making them over the weekend! Thanks!!

Hello, what about the person that gave you the recipe. I haven't seen any cookies at my house.

Oh my goodness I need to make those, they sound awesome....

You can store some of those cookies at our house. :)

Oops my mistake, I meant between 8 and 10 dozen. I will be waiting for the molasses crinkles recipe.

Lisa you should really try it, you know when you get some time!

Oh boy! these are my 2nd favorite cookie. My 1st is molassess crinkles, which I consider a fall cookie and will be making soon. Same w/ those, you double and end up w/ 12 doz!! I'll send that recipe after I make my first batch of the season. I have also tweaked it to make a molasses-ginger cake which is super yummy!
I will have to check my mom's recipe for the pumpkin chip & see if we have the same one!!

My hubby is excited because he is a cookie guy, but I'm famous for my pies and make those more often. I do cookies in the fall winter, so he's happy now. also, it's almost crock-pot weather! Which means chilli chili! I'm sure it's not crock-pot time for you, as you probably have your first reprieve from the hot sun, but it's 52 here!!

Ok...you are just gonna have to send me a couple of cookies. I love pumpkin, and chocolate....but together???
I don't think i could mix the batter without being nauseaus.Besides,right now I'm lucky to get dinner on the table!
(your time is comin' girl!)
