Before this last week, the only Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookie I’d ever tasted was born at the grocery store. They were ok, fine, swell even. But I really wanted to find my own recipe and make it mine–to share with you.
Found it–tweaked it in a couple of places and ate them…all. Ok, with some help from the Bald Kid. But still…
Ingredients:
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1-1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla
1-1/2 cups milk chocolate chips.
Combine pumpkin, sugar, butter, and egg. In a different bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Add vanilla and chocolate chips.
Drop by tablespoons on to greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on pan for about 3 minutes before moving to cooling rack.
I asked the bald kid if he liked the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies and he said,
“Dude. I ate 12 of them.”
I’m thinkin’ that’s a yes.
Happy Birthday my sweet little Mom!

These look amazing! (and totally yummy). I will be trying these for my holiday festivities! (It is the one time of year I can break my diet in peace!)
Those look delicious!
I been looking for a good recipe. The ones I’ve tried haven’t been favorites. These look yummy. I guess I’ll head to the grocery store for pumpkin.
Thanks!
I know. I was trying so hard to do both–enjoy the holiday season AND diet.
Aint. No. Way.
Make ’em. You’ll love them.
I’d share, but I…I mean, the BALD KID ate them all.
Let me just wipe the chocolate off my mouth…
Or, you could just come get a can from us…we stock up like there’s a pumpkin shortage or something. Pumpkin nerds…that’s us.

I was never a huge fan of the store ones… homemade is SO much better for these! š
Hey Launi,
I made these yesterday. Their wonderful! I used white chocolate chips and Splenda Blend instead of the sugar and they were a hit at my house. Thanks for sharing : )
