Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies blend pumpkin puree with brown and granulated sugars, creating a moist and tender cookie dough studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips. The inclusion of pumpkin pie spice adds autumnal warmth and depth, while baking soda and flour provide structure. Once baked, the cookies puff up and then slightly deflate as they cool, resulting in soft, flavorful cookies with a balance of sweetness and spice, perfect for seasonal treats or dessert.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cups brown sugar firmly packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar white
- 1/4 cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 (187grams) cups all-purpose flour
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup, or wafers
- sea salt for garnish, flakey
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, sugar and melted butter. Whisk until smooth. Don’t be shy to really get in there and make sure it's super smooth. Next, whisk in the baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
- Pour in the all-purpose flour and mix it until you no longer see any speckles of flour.
- Pour in the chocolate chips or wafers and fold them in until evenly disbursed.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, scoop out six (2 ounce) cookie dough balls, spacing them about 4 inches apart (they will spread a bit). Transfer them to the oven to bake for 11 to 13 minutes. These cookies will be puffy when they come out of the oven but will fall as they cool.
- Repeat with the remaining cookie dough. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.

Notes
- Weigh flour for accuracy to ensure consistent cookie texture and prevent dryness or heaviness.
- Use semi-sweet chocolate wafers like Guittard for well-distributed chocolate flavor and easy mixing.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain freshness.
- For freezing, follow guidelines for freezing cookie dough to extend shelf life and bake fresh when desired.
