Total Time 40 minutes
Serving Size 18 Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter slightly melted
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie mix
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips divided

Instructions

  • 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

Notes

If you want, you can always add in crushed walnuts, butterscotch chips, or toasted coconut for more decadent flairs!
