pumpkin chocoloate chip squares + halloween costume

happy day after halloween (a.k.a november 1st).  if you haven't overdosed on sugar yet, i'm here to help with some pumpkin chocolate chip squares!  but first, my halloween costume:



am i the only person who saw frankenweenie?  cause NO ONE knew what i was dressed as.  it was kinda depressing, especially with all the work i put into carlos' costume!  whatever, on to the treats!  these are perfect for curing depression caused by no one knowing your halloween costume. 



pumpkin chocolate chip squares modified from this recipe
12-24 squares, depending on the size

ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon all spice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin puree - i made my own but you can use canned... i guess
12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips



step 1: preheat oven to 350.  butter and flour a 9"x13" pan.

step 2: combine flour through salt in a medium size bowl and set aside.



step 3: combine butter and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer.  once combined, add egg and vanilla extract.  mix till combined.


step 4: add the pumpkin puree and combine using an electric mixer.  the recipe i used warned not to worry if the mixture looks curdled, but i didn't think it looked curdled.  maybe if you used canned pumpkin.


step 5: fold in chocolate chips.  spread out the batter evenly in the pan.  bake for 35-40 mins.  let cool and cut.


these are a great treat to bring to work or a party, and pretty easy to whip up!  i've actually already made two batches to take to work.  next up with my pumpkin puree will be a savory dish.  whats your favorite way to eat pumpkin?
