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!

    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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
