Pumpkin Pie Chocolate chip Cookies

Happy middle of the week! You've made it this far, so I think you deserve a treat. A slightly spiced, softly chewy, chocolate filled treat! Here is the Recipe.

Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup canned pumpkin pie puree

1/2 cup earth balance melted

1 cup sugar

2 Tbs non dairy milk

1 1/2 teas vanilla extract

1 3/4 cup whole spelt flour or whole wheat pastry flour

1/4 cup arrowroot

1 teas baking powder

1/2 teas baking soda

1/4 teas salt

1/2 cup or more chocolate chips

Cream together the pumpkin pie puree, margarine, sugar, and vanilla. Mix in the flour

arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. You can mix wet and dry ingredients separately and then combine if you would like. I prefer the simplicity of using one bowl. I pour the dry ingredients on top and then stir them together a bit before fully combining with the wet ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips. drop spoonfuls of batter on parchment paper lined baking sheets and bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees. Bake for 15 -20 min.

If you can't get enough of the pumpkin pie and chocolate combination, add some pumpkin pie puree to your hot chocolate as well, and don't forget the ricemellow creme. I actually made this recipe a bit too thick, so still working out the kinks with this one.

Whip up a batch of cookies, heat up some cocoa, and enjoy the rest of your week. The weekend will be here before you know it!
