Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease and line a square 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and sugars followed by the egg and vanilla. Whisk vigorously until light and smooth.
4. Pour in the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to fold the dough together.
5. When there’s just a bit of flour still showing in the dough, pour in the chocolate chips and fold to fully combine the dough.
6. Spread the dough in the bottom of the baking dish and set aside.

Pumpkin Pie

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin and brown sugar followed by the egg, sour cream, and vanilla.
2. Then whisk in the cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Pour the pumpkin pie filling over the chocolate chip cookie crust and spread it even.
4. Bake for 35-40 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly but it will set as it cools.
5. Allow the bars to cool in the pan until they reach room temperature. They can also be chilled in the refrigerator to speed up this process.
6. Once set, lift the bars out of the pan and slice. They can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream and more chocolate chips if desired. Enjoy!
