My Favorite Fall Dessert Recipe

Yep, I’m going there.

It’s barely September and I’m talking pumpkin.

I do apologize…but I just can’t help it.

You see, I never really liked pumpkin until last year…

I still can’t be bothered with pumpkin pie or anything that hard core…but pumpkin flavored stuff?  I’m all over that.

And these cookies are the best of both.

There is pumpkin in them (and pumpkin pie spice), but they are still most definitely chocolate chip cookies.

Which is a major win all around.

Oh, and can I just say that I added some of these new super yummy Pumpkin Spice M&Ms to some of my cookies…just for experiment sake.. and they were perfect!

It’s a really fun adaptation if you can find them. I think they are sold exclusively at Target.

Chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yep, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies… Do it.

How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Anyhow, let’s get down to details.

I started with 3/4 cup of pumpkin…

And beat that with some butter…I added a bit of pumpkin pie spice to amp up the pumpkin-ness.

And of course chocolate chips

These cookies don’t require any dough chilling, which is always a bonus!  The pumpkin helps keep them a little “taller”.

  1. I have literally been using this recipe every single year since fall 2013, and these are always everyone’s favorite cookies! This is the best recipe out there for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. THANK YOU!






  2. I’ve made these several times over the last 5 or so years. They are always a hit, and I’ve never considered another recipe. They are pillowy and rich, the flavor is perfect for a fall treat

    Sorry but these ended up being mushy-never setting up as a cookie should despite increase temperature, cooking longer, baking second batch without parchment. Been cooking for 40 years so don’t know exactly what happened here. I did a double take at the amount of butter compared to other ingredients but was willing to try as written because I had 3/4 can of pumpkin left over.
