Are you ready for this? I am not sure I am. Do you see the orange?
The flour?
The chocolate and cinnamon?
Do you want to see the outcome?
Do you see the amount of chocolate chips?
The smirk?
The DREAM cookie.
This is the part I’m not ready for…trying to eat just one of these. Soft pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
Now would be the time that someone invented a taste screen so you could all have a bite of hot tempting pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Licking the screen might be an option though.
The cookie stack. I know 6 cookies stacked on top of each other!?! I guess I just wanted to be cool like the cooking sites. They all stack their cookies. It took 4 times to balance these bad boys. It might have been that one side of cookie had 20 chocolate chips and the other side had like 2. …probally not. Remember the commercial for chip’s ahoy that promised each bite would have a chocolate chip? Me too. It stuck and I don’t want to let them down.
Seriously good.
Now on to the recipe:
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 c sugar
- 2 1/4 c oil ( I put half oil and half apple sauce. It helps with the guilt after I’ve eaten 6.)
- 3 eggs
- 3 c canned pumpkin (Full of good healthy stuff. Once again guilt lessened)
- 7 1/2 c flour
- 3 t baking powder
- 3 t baking soda
- 1 1/2 t salt
- 3 t cinnamon
- 3 t vanilla
- 2 bags of milk chocolate chips (yup I like to make my recipe ‘light’ and then counter it with extra chocolate chips. It makes sense to me.)
Instructions
- Combine and bake at 400 degrees for 13 minutes
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies…small fry recipe. {{This is the original. From my old student professor in collage!}}
- 1 1/2 c sugar
- 3/4 oil

- 1 c pumpkin (canned pumpkin…have you seen my garden:(
- 2 1/2 c flour
- 1 t baking powder

- 1 t vanilla
- 1 c choco chips
Bake at 400 degrees for 13 minutes
Enjoy and if you are close I’d love to taste test them for you to make sure you are making them correctly, but remember it might take me 6 times to really tell you if they are good…

Barefoot Pregnant and In The Kitchen says
I’m making lots of pumpkin things the past few days…. I think I might have to give these cookies a whirl…. they look so good. I too attempt the cookie stack like the rest of the cool food bloggers out there in my cookie posts. It always takes a few trys to get them to stay put.
Shelley says
This post made me laugh Alison. You need to post more… Just sayin’. 😉
Andrea says
Must. Go. Buy. Chocolate. Chips. !
Jenn Neal says
Is the modified(larger) recipe correct in the amount of Cinnamon and Vanilla? Only asking b/c the picture looks like a lot more than 1 tsp. of cinnamon.
College=educational institution
Collage=collection of materials
Caley says
You’re right. Thank you, we corrected the amounts. Thank you for catching that! 😉
Lydia Hostetler says
the bigger recipe has same amounts for cinnamon and vanilla as small recipe has. Is that right?
Caley says
You’re right, Lydia. Thank you for catching that! We’ve made the change!
angie says
hey there just wondering if you used fresh pumpkin ( I have read there are certain kinds you should use ?) or if you used the canned pumpkin. Oh and I heard pumpkins are hard to come by because of the weather this past summer. thanks
Alison says
On no…I am not a gardener! Go with canned pumpkin. Makes it super easy!
MyPeaceOfFood says
I may have to wait until it’s officially fall to make these, but how nice would it be to surprise a neighbor with a bundle of these little bad boys. Peace on a plate!
Julie says
Have you tried butterscotch chips instead of chocolate? I’ll never go back.
Alison says
YUM! I’ll have to give that a shot! Thanks for the comment!
DeeAnna says
MMmmm these are my favorite cookie! You can freeze them too, and they are really good right out of the freezer in the middle of the night!
Alison says
Right there with you!
danika says
Is there any order that you mix the ingredients, or do you just kind of add everything in together and mix it up (aside from adding the chocolate chips last)?
Alison says
Danika
I add the wet first and then thrown in the dry. My 10 yr old had done them all at once and it still turned out great! We like simple recipes!
danika says
So.. I made a double batch hoping they would go over well (for both my husband and myself) – and soooooooooooo glad I did! My husband said “yeah… ummm… these are my new favorite cookie.” I had baked some, and froze the rest of the batter… which did not last very long in the freezer! LOL… LOVE LOVE LOVE these! Thank you so much for posting this recipe.
Jennifer Grace says
Here’s a really yummy pumpkin cookie recipe too! Take one spice cake mix and one small can of pumpkin and a half of bag of chocolate chips and mix. Then bake at 350 for 10 min. Check with a tooth pick like you would a cake. So easy!!!!
Alison says
YEAH! Thanks for sharing this one Jennifer!
Emily says
Just made these tonight… My batch only made 4 dozen HUGE cookies, they are yummy! Thanks for sharing!!! 🙂
Alison says
Oh I wish we were neighbors right now! I’ve been out for a week!
Felis G says
Tried this recipe today, hoping to bring the fall weather to TX. They are super delicious!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I doubled the first recipe and it made 7 dozen cookies 🙂 (I’m going to share with my co-workers tomorrow)
jill says
this is such a funny post, love to read it and not just for the wonderful recipe 🙂
Allison says
I made these cookies last night to settle my chocolate/pumpkin desire. They totally hit the spot and I had to MAKE myself stop after eating 2. Seriously delicious. I could have eaten 12. So glad to have found you via Pinterest!
Mary says
do you grease the baking sheets?
Jackie says
pumpkin cookies are just about my favorite cookies ever… and i found out this fall that my boyfriend has never tried them! not only has he never tried them, he has never even seen them… i’m not much of a baker, but i knew i had to make a batch and show him what he had been missing.
i searched through a lot of recipes and decided THIS was the one that would rock his world 🙂
before i put the first batch in the oven i did a taste test on the dough. i could tell just from that taste that i picked the right recipe! i’m baking them right now, with one batch so far out of the oven… wow! and remember, i’m not much of a baker. they are so easy too! the only hard part for me (besides battling the crowds at the grocery store the night before thanksgiving) was mixing everything. i did a double batch, and i dont have a mixer – my arm is sore!
thank you so much for posting this recipe. i’m taking them to thanksgiving dinner tomorrow and i know everyone (especially my boyfriend) will love them.
Natricia says
Tried them and loved them! I did 1/2 applesauce and 1/2 oil too… think I will try all applesauce next time 🙂 I also added butterscotch chips as well as chocolate and my oh my, YUMMY! This is definitely easy and delicious!
indra says
Thx so much to share this recipe with us. I tried baking this last night n today everybody said its delicious
Marie says
This recipe sounds great but I would love to know how many cookies the original recipe makes….thanks!!
Kristine says
Oh Thank you SoOoO much for this recipe. I adore Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies! I usually spend a fortune to buy them, but I made your version and they are Just Delicious perfectly soft & Delightful, Best I’ve had yet! Mmmm you made my fall, Thanks again!!
Jenna says
I just made these with my kids to use up some pumpkin we had in the fridge. I wanted to let everyone know I used real pumpkin {after I roasted them, and they were small pie pumpkins} and they turned out great! I made the large batch, and used a bit over 3 cups of real pie pumpkin. They taste so yummy, and they are light and fluffy!
Leslie says
These sound awesome but there’s no way I have have that many cookies in my house! How would I freeze the dough? Drop onto cookie sheets, freeze, then save as pucks to bake later?
Mally says
Ohhhhh pumpkin goodness!!!! About how many cookies does the big batch make? 7.5 cups flour, wow! I can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks!!!
Mally says
Oh and white sugar or brown sugar? 🙂
Kaley says
I got 30 cookies with the smaller recipe! Yummmmm!
Lyn says
Does the t mean tablespoon or teaspoon? I figured out c means cup.
Sierra says
Is T. table spoon or teaspoon
grace says
I am confuse with the “t” part as well, t for tablespoon or teaspoon .. please help!! Making it right now but don’t want to put too many of the “t” ingredients 😉
Thank you!!
Nina says
the oil? 3/4 cup or what?
Patricia Hutchingame says
I’d love to try this recipe tomorrow. Can you tell me if I can freeze the raw dough or do the baked cookies freeze well? Thanks for sharing this recipe. I’m looking forward to trying it!!
