Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are something you must try this fall. In fact, it would make a perfect treat for the upcoming holidays!

My daughter Jordan, 9 years old, has been begging for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I have no clue as to why she is so fixated on them but it has been a daily request.

And today has been one of “those” kind of days, where nothing is really meshing, crockpot issues, wrong drink given to me at Starbucks, still haven’t showered and it is 3 pm, and to top it off my daughter, Jersey, 5 years collided with another girl at school giving her a large goose egg. Since she had a severe concussion this past summer, I am super sensitive to head injuries. After my little one, Cannon stepped in dog poop, I knew it was time for some sugar, otherwise, I was not going to make it through the day without a meltdown.

So I made my daughters request with the exception I made them into bars, because well it was easier and doesn’t take as much time.

YUMMY! As they filled my house with the aroma of fall baking at its best, my nerves instantly calmed. I just can’t wait for her to get home from school.
Enjoy! XOXO San

How do you make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars?

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil, then line with parchment paper with an inch over hanging on the sides, either 15×10 or 13×18 will work, or use 2 – 9×9 baking sheets.

• In a large bowl or stand mixer cream together the butter, brown sugar and white granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg and mix until combined. Mix in vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, flour, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, all-spice, cinnamon, and pumpkin puree.

• Spread cookie dough in the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.

• Remove pan from oven and let it cool. Prepare frosting.

• In a large bowl, cream butter, Mix in the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. As needed, mix in milk and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high until the frosting is smooth yet stiff, and able to hold a peak, about 3-5 minutes. Optionally you may add food coloring for a fun touch.

• Spread frosting on cooled cookie bars and let it set. Top with sprinkles if you’d like. Enjoy!
