Ingredient Notes

  • Butter: We recommend using unsalted butter in baking recipes if possible. This lets you have greater control of the salt levels.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Pumpkin puree is also quite shelf-stable and can be found in the grocery store year-round. You usually find it in the baking aisle.
  • Spices: These are the epitome of fall flavors. If you don’t have individual spices, you can substitute them with 1 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, but the custom blend here gives the best flavor in our opinion.
  • Chocolate chips: Any chocolate chips will work great in this recipe! Both semisweet and milk chocolate taste and chocolate chunks also work if you like those big bites of melty chocolate.

Cookie dough is usually quite easy to make, and these cookies are no exception! One important step is to beat together the sugar and butter until they are fluffy, and that will help get you that perfectly moist, spongy texture that makes these cookies so delicious. Be sure to mix the dry ingredients in well, but don’t overmix! It helps to mix the dry ingredients in a little at a time and mix in between each addition to make sure it is fully incorporated.

Parchment Paper or Cooking Spray

When we bake cookies, we prefer to use parchment paper or silicone baking mats. This prevents the cookies from sticking to the pan, which also makes cleanup way simpler! Nonstick cooking spray can also create a slightly greasy feel on the bottom of your cookies, so if possible, we recommend using parchment paper.

Storage and Freezing Instructions

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–5 days.

Freeze cookie dough to bake later! For best results, shape dough into balls and freeze for an hour on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a resealable plastic freezer back for long-term storage, up to 3 months. When ready to bake, place cookie dough onto baking sheet and let thaw while oven preheats. Bake 16 to 18 minutes.
