Tips:

Use fresh butternut squash: Fresh butternut squash has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than store-bought puree. Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and caramelized flavor.
Don't overcook the squash: Overcooked squash will be mushy and lose its flavor. Roast the squash until it is tender but still holds its shape.
Use a good quality chocolate: The chocolate is a key ingredient in these cookies, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until they are just set in the center and the edges are starting to brown.

Conclusion:

These Butternut Chewies are a delicious and unique twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and nutty flavor. The butternut squash adds a boost of flavor and nutrition to these cookies, making them a healthy and satisfying snack. Whether you are a fan of butternut squash or just looking for a new cookie recipe to try, these Butternut Chewies are sure to please.
