Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips to create your soft chewy pumpkin chocolate cookie dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For extra chewy pumpkin chocolate cookies, slightly flatten the dough balls.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft. These are your soft chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is well-drained to avoid overly wet dough for your soft chewy pumpkin chocolate cookies.
- For even softer chewy pumpkin chocolate cookies, slightly underbake them. They will continue to set as they cool.
- You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to your chewy pumpkin chocolate cookies for added texture.
