Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are soft, spiced, and cake-like with melty chocolate in every bite. Moist from pumpkin puree and full of cozy fall flavors, these cookies are a seasonal favorite that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake 10–12 minutes, until cookies are set and lightly golden at the edges.
  9. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
  • Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate or dark chocolate chunks.
  • Increase cinnamon and nutmeg for stronger pumpkin spice flavor.
  • Chilling the dough is optional but helps cookies hold shape.
  • Use thick homemade pumpkin puree if substituting canned.
