These soft chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are a quick, easy, and comforting fall treat. Made with simple ingredients like pumpkin puree and warm spices, they offer a perfect balance of crisp edges and a cakey center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed just until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not use pumpkin pie filling; use 100% pure pumpkin puree. Ensure butter is softened but not melted. Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling it off to avoid dry cookies. Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
