Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft, chewy, and bursting with autumnal warmth, these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful twist on a classic treat. With just 25 minutes of prep and a quick 10-minute bake, these cookies are surprisingly easy to whip up.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
- 1 cup light or dark brown sugar (200 g) firmly packed (I like to use a blend of light and dark brown sugar, but either will work)
- 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup pumpkin puree (165 g) blotted (¹see notes in recipe for instructions on blotting) (weigh before blotting, I find this usually weighs 127g after blotting)
- 3 cups all purpose flour (375 g)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (click the link for instructions to make homemade pumpkin pie spice)
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (255 g) Use your preferred type, I like to use a blend of milk and semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine melted, cooled butter and sugars.
- Add pumpkin, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir well.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well-combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough in refrigerator for at least 60 minutes.
- Once cookie dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350F (175C), leave cookie dough in the fridge until oven has fully preheated.
- Scoop dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoops and, if desired, roll between your palms to form a smooth round ball. Drop onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet or an ungreased cookie sheet and bake on 350F (175C) for 12-14 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet before enjoying.
