Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients 

These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe:

• Pumpkin: Use store-bought canned pumpkin or homemade pumpkin puree.
• Sugar: A cup of white sugar lends the perfect amount of sweetness.
• Oil: A neutral oil, such as vegetable oil, lends moisture without imparting flavor.
• Egg: An egg adds even more moisture and helps bind the dough together.
• Leaveners: Baking soda and baking powder act as leaveners, which means they help the cookies rise.
• Milk: Dissolving the baking soda in milk speeds up the leavening process.
• Flour: All-purpose flour gives the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie dough structure.
• Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds warmth to the sugary sweet cookies.
• Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor of the cookie dough.
• Walnuts: Walnuts are optional, but they add welcome crunch.
• Chocolate: You’ll need two cups of semisweet chocolate chips.
• Vanilla: A dash of vanilla extract takes the flavor up a notch.
