Servings: 24 bars
Ingredients
- ¾ cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- 1½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish or sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a large bowl and hand mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Mix together until fully combined scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed. It may look a little curdled but that's ok.
- Add the baking soda, cinnamon, salt and all purpose flour. Mix on low speed just until thoroughly combined and there are no more white streaks.
- Then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the dough into prepared pan. An offset spatula works great for this.
- Bake in preheated oven on center rack for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center no longer looks wet and glossy.
- Let cool completely, then slice into 24 bars and enjoy!
