Soft batch pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies with a perfect balance of warm spices and melty chocolate chips, delivering a cozy fall treat with a soft, chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon molasses

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, then pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Drop 2-tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are set but centers look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. Avoid overmixing dough to keep cookies soft. Brown sugar and optional molasses help maintain moisture and chewiness. Let cookies cool on baking sheet before transferring to rack to prevent drying out.
