Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies blend creamy pumpkin puree with brown sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract, spiced with pumpkin pie spice for warmth. Baking soda and salt provide leavening and balance the sweetness. The batter is mixed to combine dry and wet ingredients before folding in chocolate chips, which melt during baking to add pockets of richness.
The cookies bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges turn golden while the centers remain soft and tender. The pumpkin keeps the cookies moist and adds a subtle depth of flavor, with the spice enhancing the overall taste without overpowering.
These cookies offer a comforting texture and flavor ideal for fall gatherings or as a seasonal snack. They can be conveniently baked on parchment-lined sheets and cooled on baking sheets for best shape retention.
