Soft, cake-like pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with warm spices and gooey chocolate chips—perfect for cozy fall baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (180g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. Add pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they’ll set as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Press extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls for a more chocolatey appearance.
