Soft, fluffy pumpkin cookies, full of pumpkin pie spice and chocolate chips. The perfect pumpkin cookie that everyone LOVES. These cookies are easy to make and no chilling is required.
This is a top secret recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that was given to me by my friend Kara, but who gave me permission to post it on my website for everyone to have.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1-1/2 cups white granulated sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Gourmet Vanilla Extract)
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until pale and glossy. Add the sugar and cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy, on medium-high speed. Add the pumpkin to the mixture and mix until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
Change the mixer speed to low and slowly add in the pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, baking powder and flour. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls out onto prepared cookie sheet. Leave a few inches in between cookies to allow for spreading. Bake cookies in 375-degree oven for 15-minutes. Let baked cookies set on the cookie sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Store cookies in an air tight container at room temperature. Cookies stay soft and fresh for several days.

October 5, 2017 at 3:25 AM😁I don’t know who I love more right now, you or Kara…Kara for giving her prize recipe to you, or you for annoying the daylights out of her to part with her recipe. I actually want to run to the grocery store to get these ingredients so that I can bake this right now. It looks soooo delicious.
So thank you Kelly…for getting this recipe and thank you Kara for sharing!!!🙂

October 6, 2017 at 6:31 AMThanks Amy! Yes I definitely was holding my breath after asking Kara if I could put it on my blog….I thought she was going to say no. Everyone always asks her for the recipe, but she doesn’t give it out. And then finally she gives it to me and I want to put it on the blog for everyone hahaha. But Kara was excited to see her recipe on the blog. She’s a good friend 🙂 Have a great weekend! XOXO
