Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are inspired by my fall grocery store favorite! They are super soft and cake-like, with just the right amount of pumpkin spice flavor and chocolate chips!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar (300 grams)
- 15 Ounce Can Pumpkin Purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 Cup Butter (melted, 1 stick)
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg (large)
- 2 Tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 3/4 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour (320 grams)
- 6 Ounces Semisweet Chocolate Chips (1/2 bag)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉ & melt butter in the microwave in 30 second intervals.
- Combine sugar, pumpkin, melted butter, and vanilla in mixing bowl (no stand mixer required!) and whisk until smooth. Add egg and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin pie spice, baking powder & soda, and salt and add into wet ingredients. Stir until combined and then add flour in 2 parts, mixing with a rubber spatula. Fold in chocolate chips until fully combined & chocolate chips are evenly dispersed.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Drop 2 tbsp scoops of dough about 2 inches apart and bake for 15 minutes. For bite sized cookies, drop by 1 tbsp and bake for 12 minutes. Let rest on baking sheet to set and then transfer to cooling rack and enjoy!
