The Best Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies Recipe

September 23, 2014 by Nicole 17 Comments

pumpkin cookies

This is the best chocolate chip pumpkin cookies recipe I have ever made. The cookies turn out soft, but not puffy and cake-like. Not that anything is wrong with puffy, cake-like cookies…but for purposes of this pumpkin chip cookie recipe, I wanted more of an average-sized cookie so no one (meaning me) would need to feel too guilty about eating more than one (or three) cookies at a time. I use my cookie scoop to help me make cookies the same size for even baking.

You can adjust the sweetness by switching out the kind of chocolate chips in the recipe. Milk chocolate chips will be sweeter than the semi-sweet chips. I like using mini chocolate chips so that there’s just a little bit of chocolate in every bite. Regular-sized chocolate chips will work just fine in this recipe, too.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
