Ben's Pumpkin Cookies

A really nice recipe for soft, tasty pumpkin cookies. I adapted it from one I found on Ben Overmyer's website with a few modifications.

those clayton cookies hit so hard 😭 i need them again frfr

This recipe is scaled to make around 50 cookies and takes about 1 hour.

Ingredients

• 1 15oz can pureed pumpkin
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 4 cups flour
• 4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp milk
• 2 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups dark chocolate chips

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips. The resulting dough should be noticeably softer and wetter than normal cookie dough.
2. Seal in a plastic bag and let rest in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes; preferably overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350° F.
4. Mix chocolate chips into the dough.
5. Cover a pan with parchment paper. Spoon out dough into medium-size balls, roughly 2 inches apart.
6. Bake 15 minutes in the middle rack.
