Description
Thick, soft, and bursting with warm pumpkin spice flavor, these bars are studded with melty semisweet and dark chocolate chips. Doubling the recipe gives you a big pan (or two) of cozy fall goodness perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
2 cups butter (4 sticks), softened
2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice*
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 cups canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
4 tsp vanilla extract (Mexican vanilla recommended)
1 tsp kosher salt
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups dark chocolate chips
*If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9×13-inch baking pans with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, pumpkin pie spice, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in pumpkin puree, vanilla, salt, and eggs until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk flour and baking powder. Gradually fold into wet ingredients until combined.
Stir in semisweet and dark chocolate chips.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pans.
Bake 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
Cool completely in pan before slicing into bars.
