Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies #OXOGoodCookie

September 14, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hello Everyone!

Happy Saturday to you! I have a trivia question for you today! Is a pumpkin a fruit or vegetable? Now think about it, the answer is at the end of my blog!   But before I get to today’s recipe I wanted to let you know that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and that I teamed up with OXO to help kick off the  Bake a Difference campaign benefiting Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.  For creating today’s post, OXO will donate $100 to the Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.  I am truly honored to be participating in such an event.     As part of participating in the campaign, I was sent some wonderful OXO products to help with baking my cookies that I will be sharing with you today.  However, I would have done this post without receiving anything because I believe this is a worthy cause and every year I participate in this event, whether I do a post or donate money.

OXO Bake a Difference

If your shopping for new baking items this year to help kick off your holiday season, look for the OXO products with the Cookies for Kids’s Cancer logo on them at your local retailer. A $0.25 donation from each product will be made to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, up to $100,000.  If you want to shop on line you can go here and check out the OXO baking products.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies


Today I have for you Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies!!  Oh baby, happy Fall!!!  These cookies are a cake like cookie that has the perfect amount of pumpkin taste! They almost taste like pumpkin bread! Yum!! The cookies are light, soft and fluffy. Hmmm, fluffy cookie? Really they remind me of a little bit of cake or a muffin.  They are simply perfect for satisfying that that pumpkin and chocolate craving you tend to get this time of year!  Please don’t tell me I am the only one??  You know you get that craving too!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
I took my basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, which is my Husbands favorite recipe, cut it in half and added canned pumpkin to it for the pumpkin flavor. However the cookies didn’t turn out the exact way I planned because someone ate all, but one egg and even ate the butter! So annoying! Especially when you start a recipe only to come to find out half of the ingredients are missing, so I had to improvise and use what I had on hand.  For the butter, I used margarine from the tub and only one egg!!  The margarine is what made the cookies more cake like.  If you want more of a crunchy cookie, I recommend using butter and a tad more brown sugar.  Whenever I make cookies with chocolate chips or any other sweet additions, I always cut back on the sugar.  My main goal is to eat only foods that have 9 or less grams of sugar, except fruit!  And these cookies fall into that category!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
I really enjoyed these cookies too! However, one thing I recommend is storing them in the refrigerator. Anytime I have made recipes that use real fruit like apples or banana’s they tend to get super soft on the counter and just don’t taste as good the next day. These cookies hold up well refrigerated and are perfect for eating the next day, the next day after that and the next day after that!   I ate these three days later and they were just as good as the day I made them! The cookies are soft and not hard and flavors really come together nicely! Now if you have any advice on how to store cookies, please tell me! I have the worse luck on storing cookies. I really don’t know how??? Do you store on a plate with foil over the top? Place in tupperware? Store in glass? What do you do? HELP!  I have been searching for this answer for two years and I come up empty-handed!  With baking season right around the corner, I need to know how to store my cookies!!!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Boy pumpkin season is coming around full force everywhere including in my house and I love it!! Funny how this orange little round FRUIT becomes so popular this time of year!  I think it is probably the most popular fruit there is?  I just gave you the answer to today’s trivia question. One other fun pumpkin fact:  Illinois grows more pumpkins than any other state in the country. It harvests nearly 12,300 acres of fruit.  Pretty cool stuff!  I just love the Fall!!

Well my peeps, I am off!  Lots and lots to do today!

Have a great day and a fabulous weekend!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  Here is a peek into my Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookie!

      Thank you Joanne! I am ready for baking season too, but honestly I won’t rush it, since I tend to eat what I bake! And with that said, I bake way to much! 🙂

    I am glad that you gave us the correct answer to your trivia question – it’s amazing how many people don’t know the difference between a fruit and a vegetable. Like the fact that peppers, tomatoes and eggplants are all technically fruits, despite the fact that we call them vegetables when we eat them. Sorry about the rant – the biologist in me always does that… 🙂

    I needed a fast cookie recipe last night. These won because all the other recipes seemed to need to refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. I’m glad they did, because these are AWESOME!!! A lot less cakey than the traditional pumpkin chocolate chip cookie, I’m going to make more more more! 🙂 Thanks so much for posting!

      Yah!!!!!!!!! I am so glad you liked them! I just love the combo of pumpkin and chips together and these are such a nice guilt-free cookie. I think I’m going to make them again too! 🙂

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂

The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
