Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 7/8 cup all purpose flour 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8x8 square dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together. Stir in egg, vanilla and pumpkin. Pour in all dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spread dough evenly into prepared baking dish. Bake 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean after being inserted. {My oven is hotter than the sun, so mine was done at 15 minutes. Keep an eye on yours!} Remove from oven, cool 5-10 minutes, cut into bars and serve warm. Or wait and serve at room temperature. But of course I can never wait.
