PUMPKIN FLAKY SALT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Pumpkin Flaky Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies | Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies by popular San Francisco lifestyle blog, Just Add Glam: image of a plate of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies next to three pumpkins.

Fall is really one of the most special times of the year. So many wonderful flavors, come together in our homes and remind us that this time is all about making memories with our families. It may sound cliche but some of my fondest memories growing up, was baking with different family members during the fall time. Whether it was my mom or my grandma, I know that the kitchen was always a special place for fall memories. While Harrison isn’t quite old enough to help me out or lick the batter (it really is the best part, we all know it!) I am so excited in the years to come, and the countless cookies and cupcakes we will bake together. Especially pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!

Today I am sharing one of my favorite pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipes. I know that fall comes with a sleuth of new flavors like butternut squash and cinnamon, I have always favored pumpkin over any of the others. One of the main reasons for that is the fact that it blends well with so many other flavors and can be included in both sweet and savory dishes. I’ve been using pumpkin in so many dishes from mac and cheese to yogurt parfaits, there is no stopping me now! I have been using the same recipe for my chocolate chip cookies forever, so it was all about finding the best way to include pumpkin in my recipe. I’ve tried just adding various forms of pumpkins but I found that pumpkin puree will make them super soft and chewy, while those who prefer thin and soft cookies, might want to stick to just adding pumpkin spice to your traditional cookie batter! I have chosen to take the chewy route, so follow along with one of my absolute favorite fall recipes below!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup your preferred sweeter (sugar, stevia, monk fruit, etc.)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup of pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 cups of your flour of choice (I use almond or coconut)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice (you can also make your own!)**
  • 3/4- 1 cup of your favorite chocolate chips (depending on how many you want in each cookie)
  • Kosher flaky salt for garnish

**Pumpkin Spice Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp ground ginger
  • 4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tsp ground cloves

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper
  3. Combine, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices in a medium bowl and set aside.
  4. In separate bowl, combine butter, egg, and sweeteners with a hand mixer until creamed.
  5. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla to creamed batter and mix until combined well.
  6. Add dry and wet ingredients together until combine
  7. Add chocolate chips to batter
  8. Scoop 1 in balls of cook dough onto parchment lined baking sheet and slightly press down balls
  9. Bake for about 12 minutes or until cookies begin browning on the bottom.
  10. Transfer to wire rack for cooling and immediately sprinkle on flaky salt, and enjoy!

As I mentioned, these cookies turn out soft and chewy and I know that isn’t for everyone. If you plan on keeping your cookies on the tougher side, I recommend just using pumpkin spice and not adding the pumpkin puree! If you’re a pumpkin love like me, leave me some of your favorite fall recipes in the comments!

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
