Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups (12-ounce bag) milk chocolate chips, not semisweet
Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick spray or line them with parchment paper.

Using a mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Beat in the white and brown sugars, a little at a time, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time, then mix in the vanilla and pumpkin puree. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Slowly beat the flour mixture into the batter in thirds. Stir in the chips. Scoop the cookie dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies are browned around the edges. Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Take the cookies off with a spatula and cool them on wire racks.

Make it EGGLESS!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I LOVE this cookie. He doesn't eat eggs so it has been no problem making it by just using a bit extra... pumpkin. I've made these for friends and coworkers and none could believe there were no eggs in them because they are still so soft even after 3 days. I've tweaked the recipe to make the cookie more chewy. The changes: 1 cup RAW sugar instead of white (less processed!) 1 3/4 cup pumpkin puree 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour (thanks for all the reviewers that suggested this!) 1 tsp. baking soda 3/4 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ginger 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg & ground cloves 1 1/2 cup dark chocolate morsels (semi-sweet) 3/4 chopped pecans The cookies are an amazing treat and each tray takes only 16-17 minutes!

You MUST try these!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have to admit that I was sceptical about these. I had never imagined that pumpkin and chocolate would go well together,... but they do! The pumpkin and spices are not overwhelming, and the chocolate chips go great in this recipe (I would even consider adding more in the future). The cookies are spongy in a way, and they stay soft for several days. Everyone that tried them, loved them (they were all non-picky college students, but still). I left out the cloves, because the spices are expensive if you have to buy all of them and I'm not big on cloves anyway. Also, I only bake mine for 12 minutes!!! It could just be the oven I use, but you need to watch these carefully. The first batch of these I made I had in for 15 minutes and they were slightly burnt. Just watch them. These are the perfect holiday cookies! Make them!Read more

Not my favorite
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was very excited to make these cookies after reading the reviews. I, in fact, did want cakey/muffiny cookies; however, the... cookies were too light. I expected them to be denser. This was a little disheartening. They were light and crumbly and not in a good way. Very well could be user error. I'm a college student who usually uses a stand mixer at home and is not used to the handheld variety I used to make this. However the mixture seemed quite fine to me. Also, could have very well used some extra spices. I followed the recipe to the letter and I could have stood to have more flavor. The cookies are fairly pumpkinny which was really nice though. I think I'll try some other pumpkin cookies with the leftover pumpkin. Read more

Can't wait to make them again!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These cookies are so good. We loved them, our friends loved them and I can't wait to make them for my family for... Thanksgiving! I did take the advice of a Reviewer who said to reduce the amount of flour to 2 1/2 cups, reduce the amount of baking soda to 1 tsp, and increase the amount of spices. I also used a whole can of pumpkin. Still a little more like than a cake than a cookie, but they were very soft and spongy - really quite perfect. I didn't cook the first batch long enough, at about 15 minutes, and when I left the next batch in for a full 20 minutes the texture was much better. My husband could even tell the difference without my telling him. I will definitely be making these cookies to bring to my family for Thanksgiving!Read more
