Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Squares

 

Most definitely decadent...
 

2 cups 

 

all-purpose flour

 

1 Tbs 

 

pumpkin pie spice

 

1 tsp 

 

baking soda

 

¾ tsp 

 

salt

 

1 cup 

 

(2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

 

1¼ cups 

 

granulated sugar

 

1 large 

 

egg

 

2 tsp 

 

vanilla extract

 

1 cup 

 

canned pure pumpkin purée

 

1 package 

 

(12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of a 9x13-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 purée (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.

 

Servings: 24

 

 Cooking Tips

*If you can't find pumpkin pie spice, substitute 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 3/4 tsp. ginger, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp. each allspice and cloves.

**Make sure the cake has cooled completely before cutting.
