I am hoping that the title of this post catches your eye =] because it is pretty darn AMAAAAAZIN'!! So it all started when I was thinking about what I should bake next, when I realized I didn't have any eggs! (Even though it was really easy to get into my car, and drive to the grocery store LOL) BUT I was ready for a challenge. SO I thought long and hard and came up with this...
A chocolate chip pumpkin spice cookie!! And it goes PERFECT for the holiday season!
This cookie has whole wheat flour, which is ALOT better than using white flour. Instead of eggs I replaced it with Pumpkin Puree, which is naturally low in calories and fat. Both of these ingredients have tons of added health benefits.
Ok so here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup white flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup butter (softened)
3/4 pumpkin puree
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4-1 cup mini chocolate chips
Cinnamon sugar mixture:
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine dry ingredients (first 7 ingredients) in a small bowl and whisk together.
- Combine butters and sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Add in pumpkin and vanilla and combine. Gradually add in dry ingredients.
- Mix in chocolate chips
- In a separate bowl mix together ingredients for cinnamon sugar and set aside.
- Using a mini ice cream scooper, scoop out dough and roll into a ball. Then roll in cinnamon sugar and place on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes
Here are the cookies pre-oven...all cute and pretty rolled in cinnamon sugar =]
These cookies are roughly around 80-90 calories! I KNOW! ENJOY!
