Our favorite thing about these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies is that they are straightforward to mix. Mix everything together, scoop the batter onto a pan, and bake. The cookie dough will be well-balanced every time (and we don’t judge if you taste the cookie dough).
Recipe Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla. In a medium bowl, make the flour mixture by combining the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. We use a cookie scoop size #50 to make these cute-sized cookie dough balls. However, a regular spoon works too:)
Bake in the oven for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks. These Chocolate chip pumpkin cookies have a unique, standout flavor and they’re an straightforward-to-make treat. Always a must on the fall baking list.
Storing + Freezing
Once they have baked and cooled, store the cookies in a covered airtight container for up to 7 days. The longer they sit, the more flavor they develop. You may also freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, let thaw on the counter until no longer frozen.
Tips for the Best Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Use canned pumpkin – for best consistency
- Don’t use canned “pumpkin pie filling” – it has added sweeteners and spices.
- Don’t over-mix dough – Over-mixing makes the cookies will be flatter.
- Do not grease the cookie sheet – The butter will help the cookies not stick. However, using parchment paper or a baking mat works too.
- Add in extras Like chopped pecans or walnuts, additional teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, ground nutmeg, ginger, raisins, or allspice to the pumpkin mixture
