2. In a separate bowl, with an electric or stand mixer, whisk together butter & both sugars on medium-high for 1 minute.
3. Add eggs, vanilla & Seneca Pumpkin Puree to mixing bowl & whisk until fully incorporated.
4. On a low speed, slowly add in the remaining dry ingredients & mix until well combined.
5. Using a spatula, fold in Sweet Shoppe Chocolate Chips.
6. Cover your cookie dough & refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
7. Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator & preheat your oven to 325°F.
8. Scoop ¼ cup of cookie dough & roll into individual dough balls. Continue until you run out of cookie dough. (You should have roughly 15-18 dough balls)
9. Before placing the cookie dough on your baking sheet, tear each dough ball in half then press the two halfs back together to create a slightly messy look.
10. Place dough balls on parchment paper, leaving enough room between for the dough to spread.
11. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes, at 350°F, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. When ready, your chocolate chip cookies should have golden edges & a soft center. 
    PRO TIP: Your Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies might look slightly underdone. This is normal because of the pumpkin puree. Do not continue baking or they might burn!!
12. Let cool & enjoy the very best cookies you’ve ever had.

Makes 10-15 extra large cookies
