This is the only chocolate chip pumpkin cookie recipe you will ever need. It's easy to make super soft, fluffy pumpkin cookies at home!
It doesn't have to be fall to bake with pumpkin, am I right? I love all things pumpkin spice, but chocolate chip pumpkin cookies are a fave at our house.
You can make these thick, super soft pumpkin chocolate chippers all year-round. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
Ingredients
- Butter
- Sugar
- Light brown sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Pumpkin puree
- Flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- Ginger
- Nutmeg
- Cloves
- Milk chocolate chips
Instructions to Make Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Soften butter in the microwave and pour it into a large bowl.
- Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Add vanilla and pumpkin and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and then slowly add them to the pumpkin mixture a little at a time.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the cookie dough with a cookie scoop or a rounded tablespoon onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until edges are just beginning to brown.
Every oven is different, so baking time might vary. For me, 11 minutes was perfect for 1-inch cookies, and the 2-inch cookies were best after baking for 13 minutes.
This recipe makes 5 dozen cookies if you use a 1-inch cookie scoop, or 3 dozen cookies if you use a 2-inch cookie scoop.
These get gobbled up so fast around here that I like to double the batch sometimes.
Pro Tips:
- Before you start making the cookie dough, soften the butter and bring eggs to room temperature.
- Use silicone baking mats on your cookie sheets for more even baking and easier clean-up.
