Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the cookies’ texture.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips (if using).
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Top each cookie with a few extra chocolate chips for that gooey, melty chocolate appearance.
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft and gooey.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Use room temperature ingredients: For best results, ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature. This helps the ingredients mix together more smoothly, creating a better texture for your cookies.
- Don’t overbake: These cookies should remain soft and slightly underbaked in the center. They’ll continue to cook as they cool, so taking them out a little earlier ensures they stay gooey and chewy.
- Pumpkin puree vs. pumpkin pie filling: Make sure to use plain pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices that could throw off the flavor of the cookies.
