Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares

Thanksgiving is coming and pumpkin things are a big part of that for me. I have a couple of pumpkin recipes that I want to share before thanksgiving. These are so good.  It is a delicious fall dessert.

 

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares

Recipe Source: Martha Stewart, Everyday Food

2 cups all-purpose Flour
1 Tbsp Pumpkin-Pie Spice
1 tsp Baking Soda
3/4 tsp Salt
1 cup unsalted Butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups Sugar
1 large Egg
2 tsp Vanilla
1 cup canned Pumpkin Puree
1 pkg (12 oz) Semisweet Chocolate Chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. 

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pie spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

3. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin puree (mixture may appear curdled). Reduce speed to low, and mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

4. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely in pan.

5. Lift cake from pan (using foil as an aid). Peel off foil, and use a serrated knife to cut into 24 squares.
