Healthified Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Author: Teri

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbs. vanilla
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Using a hand mixer, combine pumpkin, sugar, applesauce, egg and vanilla and mix well.
  3. Combine by whisking: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Dissolve baking soda in milk, then add to the wet mixture
  5. Gradually add dry mixture to wet and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix it!
  6. Fold in chocolate chips
  7. Grease a cookie sheet and use an ice cream scoop to measure out. (These are the BEST cookie sheets!)
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until they no longer look wet
  9. Let sit on pan for 2 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool

Notes

*Once you put these in a tupperware, they’re not quite as good. So, I make them in small batches (refrigerating the leftover dough) and just leave them out until they are eaten.
