These cookies are the perfect Fall treat. For more classic Fall desserts, don’t miss out on our Mom’s Pumpkin Cheesecake, our Mini Apple Pies, or our Shortcut Apple Fritter Bread.

Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookie Monster has said the following:

“Today, me will live in the moment, unless it’s unpleasant, in which case me will eat a cookie.”

We could not agree more!

A chocolate chip cookie can pretty much solve any problem. The only thing that makes a chocolate chip cookie better is to add pumpkin! We are of the mindset that you should always add pumpkin to ALL the things. 

These cookies are no exception. Chocolate chips and pumpkin are pretty much a match made in Heaven for your Fall state of mind. 

These easy to make cookies are soft, chewy, light, fluffy, and loaded with chocolate chips and pumpkin flavor. We promise these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are hard to resist and become the BEST cookies you make all year long!

How do you know when pumpkin cookies are done?

You want the cookies to have a firm edge but not be too soft in the middle. You can check this by gently pushing on the side of a cookie with a spatula. If the center does not have an indention and the sides seem firm, then they are done. 

How many calories are in a soft pumpkin chocolate chip cookie?

Our cookie recipe has 100 calories per cookie. 

Can I Refrigerate cookies after baking?

We do not recommend placing baked cookies in the fridge after baking until they are completely cooled. If you put them in the refrigerator while they are still warm, it will create condensation, which will cause the cookies to become soggy. No one likes a wet cookie!
