Author Notes: My variation on these popular fall cookies. - merrill
Makes about 3 dozen cookies
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, pumpkin, vanilla and egg until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips. Do not over-mix.
- Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving about an inch between the cookies. Bake for about 12 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center of one of the cookies comes out clean. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet on a wire rack for a few minutes, and then remove the cookies with a spatula and finish cooling the directly on the racks.
- Repeat with the remainder of the batter, re-using the baking sheets once they're cool enough.

i just made these, i wish i'd known it was meant to be a runny mixture because i added more flour as i had never made biscuits with such a liquid like mixture - they ended up like small muffins, also i used steamed and mashed butternut squash pumpkin in place of canned - not much flavour, i will make these again with canned and hopefully they have more taste and orange colour

The mixture shouldn't be that runny -- did you drain the butternut squash well after you steamed it? There's a lot more liquid in steamed pumpkin/squash than there is in canned puree.

Could you use brown sugar instead? Would it be the same amount?

I almost tried that, but my brown sugar was rock hard. I think it should work, yes - let me know if you try it!
