CHEWY Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you’re anything like me, pumpkin season isn’t just for lattes—it’s for cookies too! And these CHEWY Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are my fall-time favorite. 🍂

They’re soft, perfectly spiced, and loaded with melty chocolate chips. Best part? They’re chewy, not cakey like most pumpkin cookies. Yup, I cracked the code. 🙌

Whether you’re baking for a cozy night in, a fall party, or just because you’re craving something sweet, these cookies are always a hit. Let’s bake up a batch!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
• 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree 🎃
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined—don’t overmix!

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Cover the dough and chill in the fridge for 30–45 minutes. (Trust me, this helps with the chewy texture! 😉)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underdone.

Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips & Variations

• Don’t skip the chilling—it reduces spreading and gives a chewier texture!
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty twist 🧂
• White chocolate chips or chopped pecans are great add-ins, too!
• You can double the batch and freeze extra dough balls for quick cookies later ❄️

Storage

Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3–4 days. These cookies also freeze beautifully—just reheat for 10 seconds in the microwave to make them gooey again.
