I checked with the food gods to see if it would be okay if I started sharing this year’s best pumpkin recipes. Good news: they said yes. The bad news is, though, that you will eat this entire small batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies by yourself. In one sitting. I mean, if you’re anything like me and lack self-control. They’re soft, chewy and spicy, and I couldn’t get over how easy they were to stir together. The recipe makes about 8 cookies, and if you look in the photo and do some math, you’ll notice 2 cookies are missing… Two is the number of cookies you’ll eat right out of the oven.Seven is the number of cookies you’ll say this recipe makes when you offer to share them.

I based this small-batch cookie recipe off of Sally’s recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, and if you know anything about Sally (you do know about Sally right? She’s the baking queen of the internet), you know it’s going to be good. Sally’s the chick I go to when I’m having trouble scaling down a recipe. She knows all the tips and tricks about what makes baked goods exactly the way they’re supposed to be. She’ll help you get soft, chewy cookies with crisp edges, thanks to melted butter, a brief chill time, and a lack of eggs.

This recipe doesn’t contain any eggs! So, if you’re looking to make pumpkin cookies without eggs, then this easy pumpkin choc chip cookies is your best bet! Have I convinced you to make these yet? It’s only 9 cookies; you can do it! Go get yourself a pumpkin spice latte, make a small batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and enjoy the season that’s coming soon!

Butter. Half of one stick of unsalted butter that you melt and cool slightly. Brown Sugar. Two tablespoons of dark brown sugar. Light brown sugar works, too. Sugar. One-quarter cup of white granulated sugar. Vanilla. One-half teaspoon of vanilla extract. This is a lot for just 8 cookies, but it makes them so delicious. Pumpkin Puree. One-quarter cup of canned pumpkin puree, not canned pumpkin pie filling. Be sure to drain the ¼ cup of pumpkin on a few paper towels for about 15 minutes to drain excess moisture. Flour. Three-quarters cup of all-purpose flour. Salt. Please don’t skip the ¼ teaspoon of salt in the dough. It balances the sweetness! Baking Soda. One-quarter teaspoon of baking soda to help make the cookies rise and spread while baking. Pumpkin Pie Spice. One teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice blend brings the real pumpkin spice flavor to these cookies. Chocolate Chips. You need ⅓ cup of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.

How to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies Recipe Tips

The most important thing about this recipe is to DRY OFF THE PUMPKIN. Measure out the pumpkin you need, and then place it on a few paper towels. Let it rest for 15 minutes, and some of the excess moisture will be removed. This helps make all of your pumpkin desserts more chewy instead of soft and muffin-like. That said, do not do this for pumpkin bread or muffins, which you want to be fluffy and muffin-like. I only use this tip for pumpkin cookies and cheesecake. SaveSave 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin. 3. Evenly sprinkle the flour, salt, baking soda and pumpkin pie spice on top.Use a spatula to fold everything together, and then fold in the chocolate chips. 4. Place the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350. 5. Press the dough flat in the bowl, and then divide it in half by eye into 4 quarters. Make 2-3 cookies from each quarter. Roll them into balls, flatten with your palm, and then bake for 9-10 minutes. 6. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, and then move to a cooling rack before devouring completely. These cookies are soft and chewy and full of pumpkin spice and flavors.
