How to make Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
The biggest concern that people seem to have is that Pumpkin Cookies, turn out to be cakey. Well, not this one.
These Pumpkin Cookies are soft, but they are chewy.
The trick to making dense and chewy Pumpkin cookies is to reduce the amount of Moisture which you might use in your cookie dough. It turns out, a Cookie dough which has a lot of Pumpkin Puree, turns out to be too thin and runny and your cookies turn out to be giant, flat, and cakey.
So, to avoid that, reduce the amount of Pumpkin Puree, you're using and also, increase the amount of flour. For the ingredients which I have mentioned, it will yield 18 cookies.
Pro Tips to bake these Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Do not use Eggs - Eggs will make your cookie dough too thin. Using eggs in this cookie dough will make your cookie dough too thin and your cookies will be flat and cakey. So, you need to not use Eggs for this recipe.
- Pumpkin Puree - Bloat the Pumpkin Puree using a Paper towel to soak out all the moisture.
- Chill the cookie dough - Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes. Wrap it up in a cling wrap and keep in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Flatten the cookie dough balls - When you make cookie dough balls and place them for baking, lightly flatten them out using the back of your spoon or scooper so that these retain a good circular shape.
- Cool the Cookies - After your cookies are baked, cool it down on a wire rack and then enjoy it. You might want to have it fresh from the oven, but they will be super soft and brittle at this point. Give them just 5-10 minutes to sit on the counter to cool down to room temperature and they will harden up to a point, making it chewy and dense.
