There's a Reason Taylor Swift Swears by These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Before anything, preheat your oven to 350°F.

Here's what you will first need:

• 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup pumpkin purée

Start by beating your butter until smooth. Then add the sugars until it's super light and fluffy. Next, add 1 egg at a time, continuing to beat until fully incorporated. Now, add the vanilla extract and pumpkin purée and stop beating when it appears evenly mixed.

Here's what you need:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together until there are no clumps. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients in 3 parts into the wet ingredients and beat slowly just until cookie dough forms.

Just add all the cookie dough into a 12-inch skillet and top off with chocolate. Bake for 30 minutes or just until the centre is set and the edges have slightly browned.

Allow to cool for 25 minutes, slice, and serve. For extra indulgence, serve with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. Would Taylor Swift approve? I think so.
