You might think that you can’t improve on the traditional chocolate chip cookie. This recipe proves you wrong.

Everyone loves a good chocolate chip cookie. There’s just something so satisfying about tasting that mix of crunchy cookie and soft chocolate chip.

If they handed out Nobel Prizes for baking, then the inventor of the chocolate chip cookie would surely have one.

But since chocolate chip cookies were invented in 1938, they haven’t really changed much.

Some would say that they didn’t need to change and that they’re perfect as they are. Others would say that double and triple chocolate chip cookies were big changes. But adding more chocolate is hardly a groundbreaking innovation.

And yes, some people add nuts and other things among the cookies. But they just get in the way of the chocolate chips!

The world thrives on change, meaning that someone had to update the classic chocolate chip cookie with an ingredient that didn’t diminish the number of chocolate chips at some point. Well, this twist on chocolate chip cookies could become all the rage.

This amazing new recipe is pumpkin spice flavored chocolate chip cookies.

Perhaps the greatest thing about this recipe is the fact that it ties in perfectly with the holiday season. When the days start getting much shorter, people always crave the taste of pumpkin spice. It’s just the way that it is.

But there’s only one way to know that these cookies are as delicious as everyone claims: bake and eat them yourself.

First, you’ll need your ingredients.

To make a batch of 35 cookies, you should get the following things:

Two and a quarter cups of all-purpose flour.

One teaspoon of baking soda

One teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice

Half a teaspoon of salt

Two sticks of unsalted butter

Three-quarters of a cup of brown sugar

Half a cup of granulated sugar

Three-quarters of a cup of pumpkin puree.

One egg.

Two teaspoons of vanilla extract

Two cups of chocolate chips.

You make the cookies like so:

Whisk the flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice and salt all together in a bowl.

In another bowl, mix together the butter and sugar. Then whisk in the pumpkin puree, the egg and the vanilla extract.

Combine the liquid mixture with the flour mixture. Whisk all this together until the flour is fully mixed in.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips into the mixture and mix some more.

Put this mixture into the fridge for half an hour.

Preheat your oven to 375 Fahrenheit.

Then put balls of around one inch in size onto a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Make sure that there’re about two inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they get all golden at the corners.

Then you’ll have something that everyone will love! Your family will want you to make these every single week, even when it isn’t the holiday season!

Just think, it only takes around one hour to make something this delicious, and most of that time is spent with the cookies in the fridge/oven.

That’s about as easy as baking gets.

If you’re not a keen baker, then this recipe is the perfect place to start out and get a feel for it. Literally, the hardest part is making sure that the cookies don’t stay in the oven too long!
