Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups quick oats or old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon salt
Chai Spice Mix
- 2 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground clove
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
Wet ingredients/Sugars/Etc
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon Nielsen Massey Coffee extract Vanilla can be substituted
- 1 ¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips I used Ghiradelli semi-sweet
- 1 cup dried cranberries
In a separate bowl, add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin chai spices together and whisk, set aside.
Using mixer, cream the butter, and sugars together, then add in the vanilla, pumpkin puree, molasses and mix well.
Add in the dry flour/oat mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and cranberries and set in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place parchment paper onto large baking sheet or two.
Using a 1/4 cup scoop, put 6 cookies on each baking sheet and bake 15 - 16 minutes.
Transfer cookies from oven when done and let set for 5 minutes before transferring to baking rack.
Devour!
- Using Nielsen Massey Coffee extract in these with the Pumpkin Chai spices and chocolate really takes them to another level! YUM!
- Using old-fashioned rolled oats will make them more chewier, I used quick oats, which makes them not as chewy as the rolled oats would be, but either one used would be delightful.
