Description
These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are everything you love about fall in one bite: warm spices, tender texture, and sweet chocolate chips. They’re easy to make, stay soft for days, and are a perfect treat for cozy afternoons or holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Whisk dry ingredients in a separate bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough by spoonfuls onto baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are set. Centers may look slightly soft — they will firm up while cooling.
- Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Freeze dough balls for longer storage and fresh-baked cookies anytime.
