Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Every cook needs a classic recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, and this is the best recipe I’ve ever tried. They turn out perfect every time!

My kids went back to school today, so summer is officially over at our house. Which means fall is just around the corner. Time for all things pumpkin! I know some people probably get tired of pumpkin recipes, but I love them. I enjoy them so much that we actually eat them all year long.

Truthfully, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies have never been my favorite. I finally figured out why. Turns out I just don’t care for the taste of chocolate with cloves and nutmeg, which are typically in pumpkin cookies.

 

I made up a batch with just a heavy dose of cinnamon, and I loved them! But of course you can feel free to add the extra spices to your cookies. You can even add a little ginger if that makes you happy.

These cookies turn out so soft and fluffy, and I think they actually taste even better the next day. They store really well in an airtight container for a few days. But they probably won’t stick around that long!

Classic pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

I like my pumpkin cookies to have smooth edges, so I use this gadget to scoop the cookies on cookie sheets. I love using my Silpat mat for these cookies, because they tend to stick more than traditional chocolate chip cookies.

This recipe calls for oil instead of butter, and it makes the cookies even more soft. These are truly the best pumpkin chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever tried!

    I agree about more cinnamon and no other flavors. My kids are grown and still ask me to make these every Fall. We’re making them tonight.
