Guittard Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
The pumpkin gives these cookies a light and fluffy crumb, like the texture of a muffin. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg imparts a festive flavor. If you’re one of those bakers who likes extra spice, this is a good recipe for you. Just make sure you add a little spice at a time and taste the batter as you go.
Servings: 45 2-inch cookies

Ingredients
- 1 cup All‑purpose flour 120 g
- 1 ¼ cups Whole‑wheat flour 150 g
- 1 tsp Baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F [190°C]. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin purée until combined. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 in [2.5 cm] between the cookies.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and spring back when touched. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
