These are the best pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! Soft and chewy with pumpkin spice flavor and chocolate chips, they are a favorite cozy fall cookie recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (245 g) canned pumpkin puree , don't use the whole can
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil , can sub with avocado oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 2 cups (270 g) all-purpose flour , spooned and leveled
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice , add an extra teaspoon if you like extra spice
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips , more if desired

Instructions

  • Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
  • Wet ingredients. In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup canned pumpkin, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 Tablespoon vanilla and 1 egg until smooth. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1 teaspoon milk and stir into the wet ingredients.
  • Dry ingredients. In a separate large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture just until you see a few flour streaks. Fold in 1-2 cups chocolate chips until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Bake. Using a medium cookie scoop or a spoon, drop cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Add a few extra chocolate chips to the tops, if desired. Bake 10 to 13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the bottoms are lightly brown. Check 1 and bake 1 to 2 more minutes if the center is not quite done.
  • Cool. Let cool 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in a covered container. They taste even better the next day!

Notes

Optional mix-in's or toppings: 
Storage: Store in a covered container up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months. These cookies taste best cooled and taste even better the next day. The longer they sit the more the flavor comes out.
