Ingredients
The following ingredients have 15 Servings
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 cups white flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 5 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla and pumpkin and whisk until smooth.
- Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. Fold in with a rubber scraper. When thoroughly combined fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spray a jelly roll pan with non stick cooking spray. Spread the batter evenly in the bottom of the pan. Use clean hands to pat down evenly, if needed.
- Bake for about 14-16 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- While cookies are baking, make the frosting by combining the powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk and vanilla in a bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat until creamy and smooth.
- Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes. Then gently spread the frosting on top of the bars. Let cool for another 15 minutes and then cut and serve.
