Easy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup shortening
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease your baking sheets to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the white sugar and shortening with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Stir in the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract until the mixture is well blended. Set the mixture aside temporarily.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until thoroughly combined. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the pumpkin mixture until everything is just mixed. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 3 to 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
