Description
Soft, spiced pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and plenty of melty chocolate chips — the ultimate fall treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in egg yolk, vanilla, and pumpkin puree until combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt.
- Combine and Add Chocolate Chips: Slowly fold dry mixture into wet ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Chill the Dough: Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to prevent flat cookies.

- Cool & Enjoy: Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
For bakery-style cookies, use a cookie scoop and slightly underbake for soft centers. Add white chocolate chips or walnuts for variety.
