Crispy and heartwarming, that is exactly what these cookies taste like!
I have eaten MANY pumpkin cookies, and I don’t prefer when they are really gooey or cakey, I like them more crispy.
If you like a crispy edge and chewy center, these are THE perfect combo.
I love the pumpkin flavor, it really kicks chocolate chip cookies into a fun comfy cookie PERFECT for the cooler weather.
Mmmm… nothing better than walking into the kitchen and seeing a plate of these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. My family DEVOURED them!
Now if you’re like me you like pumpkin all year long and I always stock up on canned pumpkin puree, there was a pumpkin shortage a few years back, not sure if it was a marketing thing or for real, I was still able to get it in the stores, and my friends and I would talk about how fall and winter baking just wouldn’t be the same without PUMPKIN!
I’m happy to say I have cans of it in my pantry all year long!

November 6, 2017 at 5:45 pmI ate it at the restaurant and enjoyed it. I tried many times but failed. Today saw your guide I learned a lot and drawn many useful things. I believe this time I will succeed. Thanks a lot!

December 26, 2017 at 8:42 amOh, that’s my favourite cookies and finally I have a recipe for them. This Christmas I bought some ready made cookies and was totally disappointed.

October 24, 2018 at 2:36 pmThey turned out under-cooked and greasy. Any help would be very welcome, as the dough is in the fridge waiting…

October 24, 2018 at 9:14 pmUndercooked, check your oven temp, raise it if you feel it’s off or too low by 25 degrees. Greasy? double check your measurements, if you feel they were correct, add some flour as needed. I did not find them to be greasy at all, I use parchment paper to bake on and thick bakery style baking sheets, baking pans can really have a lot to do with how your cookies will turn out, thinner pans tend to puddle “grease” butter as they heat really fast and melt the butter fast, double insulated pans will give your undercooked cookies or dark bottoms too. Hard to tell without more info. feel free to email if you want to be specific to what you have tried, also what your oven temp is with a thermometer (not just what the oven temp says it is) what types of pans, if you altered the recipe or used other types of ingredients, flour, etc. and I can help troubleshoot better for great results. I have a guide for cookie baking if you want more tips you can find it here https://www.createdby-diane.com/cookie-tips
