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! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.

Do you have any plans for Easter?

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!
