Ingredients
 

  • 2 ¼ cups pumpkin
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup cooking oil I used avocado
  • 1 Tablespoon milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, milk and vanilla together in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer or stand mixer. Mix until well combined.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin spice together in a separate bowl. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. See photos above for a visual. The dough is pretty sticky, so I like to use a cookie scoop. Scoop the dough onto the parchment lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart, about 1 ½ - 2 Tablespoons in size.
  • Press the cookies down slightly with your fingers. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the tops are matte and the edges are set and they are cooked through.

Notes

  • You can absolutely use milk chocolate chips instead of semi- sweet if you prefer a sweeter chocolate chip.
  • These are one of my absolute favorite cookies to freeze. The texture when they are frozen is so yummy. They make a great make ahead cookie or store-in-the-freezer cookie.
  • Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling! This recipe is not designed to be made with pumpkin pie filling.
