Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cookie
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 tablespoon melted butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until just liquefied.
- Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and mix thoroughly until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Incorporate the pumpkin puree into the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until the ingredients are fully integrated and create a uniform texture.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round mound.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center appears set.
- Remove from oven and let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Allow to cool for an additional 5 minutes before enjoying your single-serving pumpkin chocolate chip cookie.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for the best texture and most even mixing.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookie tough.
- For an extra indulgent touch, use high-quality chocolate chips like dark or semi-sweet.
- If you don't have parchment paper, a lightly greased baking sheet works just fine.
- Make sure your baking soda is fresh to help the cookie rise properly.
- Watch the cookie closely during the last few minutes of baking to prevent overcooking.
- Let the cookie cool slightly to allow the chocolate chips to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- Feel free to experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger to enhance the pumpkin flavor.
