Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients
Brown Sugar: I used light brown sugar. To correctly measure brown sugar make sure that you use a dry measuring cup and pack your brown sugar by pressing on the top until your cup is full.
Pumpkin Puree: Canned or homemade pumpkin puree. Make sure you are using unflavored 100% pumpkin. Do not use pumpkin pie filling.
Chocolate Chips: I used semi sweet chips for this recipe. You can use milk or dark instead based on your preferences.
How To Make
Preheat the oven to 325F. Line 3 large baking trays with parchment paper or silpat liners.
Use a handheld electric mixer to cream together the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla. Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice mix, salt, and baking soda, and beat to combine. Use a wooden spoon to stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough out with a 1 1/2-tablespoon ice cream scoop and arrange the dough balls about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking trays. Divide the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top, lightly pressing them into the dough balls.
Bake the cookies until they’re set along the outside, but still a touch doughy in the center, about 10 to 13 minutes, rotating the trays once halfway through. Let the cookies cool on the trays before removing (they will continue cooking and set as they cool).
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days
