easy pumpkin cookies

These soft pumpkin cookies scream FALL 🍁, and are thick, moist and almost cake-like. And they&#39;re loaded with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chips for an incredibly delicious cookie.

Easy Soft Pumpkin Cookies with Chocolate Chips (Recipe)

all-purpose flour ((2 cups))

baking powder

baking soda

cinnamon powder

pumpkin spice

salt

pumpkin purée

sugar

neutral vegetable oil (I used avocado oil)

vanilla extract

chocolate chips

Whisk. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder, pumpkin spice and salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, sugar, oil, egg and vanilla extract.

Combine. Fold the dry ingredients, in thirds, into the wet ingredients, using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to over-mix. Over-mixing can make the cookies tough.Fold in the chocolate chips using the spatula.

Chill. Cover the bowl with plastic and either slide into the freezer for 15 minutes or the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This firms up the cookie dough a little, making it easier to scoop.

Preheat. Preheat the oven to 350˚F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Scoop. Use a cookie scoop (a medium-sized ice cream scoop) to scoop cookie dough out of the bowl, and place on one parchment paper lined cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. I put 12 scoops of cookie dough on the cookie sheet.(Once the first batch of cookies go into the oven, repeat this step to fill another cookie sheet. There will be dough left over. Cover the bowl again with plastic, and return the dough to the refrigerator. Once the first batch of cookies come out and are on the cooling rack, scoop up the remaining dough onto the first cookie sheet when it cools.)

Bake. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, but keep the cookies on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.


Soft Batch Pumpkin Sugar Cookies are deliciously soft and chewy treats that combine the warm flavors of pumpkin and fall spices. These cookies are perfect for any occasion and are incredibly easy to make, featuring a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a sweet, crunchy sugar coating.

Soft Batch Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

unsalted butter, softened

brown sugar, packed

pumpkin puree

all-purpose flour

cinnamon

nutmeg

ginger

cloves

sugar (for rolling)

Preheat your oven

to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside. This helps the cookies bake evenly and prevents sticking.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This step is crucial as it incorporates air into the dough, making the cookies soft and light.

Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract

to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined. The pumpkin adds moisture, making these cookies extra soft, while the egg yolk adds richness.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. These spices are the stars of the show, giving the cookies their warm, autumnal flavor.

Gradually add the dry ingredients

to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.

Scoop the dough

into 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls and roll them in the additional granulated sugar. This adds a sweet, crunchy coating to the outside of the cookies.

Place the dough balls

on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The cookies will spread as they bake, so give them some room.

Bake for 10-12 minutes

, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft. The key to soft cookies is to slightly underbake them, so don’t be tempted to leave them in the oven too long.

Allow the cookies to cool

on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set without becoming too crisp.
