Ingredients

  • 7 cups flour
  • 3 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons ground cloves
  • 3 sticks salted butter
  • 15 ounce pumpkin puree (can)
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons rum extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 30 ounces dark chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli)
  • 4 cups pecans (optional); soaked in spiced rum

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375
  • Mix flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in separate bowl with whisk to distribute spices evenly.
  • With standing mixer, mix butter, pumpkin, sugars and rum extract thoroughly.
  • Mix in eggs one at a time.
  • Slowly add in flour mixture at low speed.
  • Slowly add in chips (and drained nuts).
  • Place by heaping spoonful on cookie sheets; recommend placing on parchment paper.
  • Bake at 375 for ~12-14 minutes. Note: cookies are more dark than normal due to the pumpkin and spices.
