Description

Soft, chewy pumpkin-spice chocolate chip cookies—loaded with warm flavor and easy to make.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1–2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or mixed chips)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in milk-dissolved baking soda.
  3. In separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  4. Pour dry mixture into wet and stir until just barely combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Use scoop to drop dough 2″ apart onto baking sheet; press extra chips on top if desired.
  7. Bake 10–13 minutes until edges set and tops look matte; center may still look slightly glossy.
  8. Let cool 5 minutes on sheet, then transfer to rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin, not pie filling.
  • For extra soft cookies, under-bake by 1–2 minutes.
  • Add-ins: nuts, oats, or use mini chips for more chocolate in every bite.
  • Store in airtight container for up to 4 days; freeze up to 3 months.
