How to make the best Pumpkin and Brown Sugar Espresso Cookies
Step 1: Using a hand held or stand mixer, beat sugars and butter on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks
Step 2: Dab pumpkin purée with a paper towel 3-4 times to soak up excess water. This prevents the cookies from having a cake texture so don’t skip this step.
Step 3: Add vanilla, pumpkin puree and espresso to the mixer and blend until combined.
Step 4: Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 5: Preheat the oven to 350° F degrees. While the oven preheats, place cookie dough in the fridge to firm up so it’s not sticky (just enough to roll into balls and dip in chocolate chips)
Using a big cookie scoop, scoop 12 large cookie balls and roll in mini chocolate chips.
Bake for 15 minutes. They will look really soft when taking out of the oven but will firm up once cooled
