250g plain flour

• 125g butter, softened
• 100g brown sugar
• 100g white sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Line baking tray with parchment.
2. In a mixing bowl beat together butter with sugar and salt. Add egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Mix well.
3. Add flour, soda and all the spices and mix on a medium speed until the dough forms. Then add chocolate chips and mix once again.

Who doesn’t like crumbly and chewy chocolate chip cookies?

Well, this fall I decided to make a twist on this classic dessert and added one of the main autumn ingredients – pumpkin – to the cookie dough.

With all the added spices, these cookies are a wonderful festive treat!

Enjoy them warm or cold! 😉
