Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

This soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is a must make every fall and only takes 20 minutes. They are moist, flavorful, and my top favorite fall cookie!
I have too many favorite pumpkin recipes, like our Classic Pumpkin Roll, Pumpkin Mug Cake, Healthy Pumpkin Muffins, or Pumpkin Bars with Caramel Frosting!
My love runs deep for these 20-Minute Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.
My family has been making this recipe for decades. They’re big, soft and chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies made with just a few simple ingredients, in only 20 minutes. I have never found a better recipe than my mom’s, with the perfect blend of fall spice flavors. They freeze really well, too, so you can enjoy them for weeks.
How to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Make Cookie Dough: Combine oil and sugar then add egg, milk, pumpkin, and vanilla. Mix well then combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients and chocolate chips to wet ingredients then stir until incorporated.
Bake: Drop cookie dough by large spoonfuls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed lightly with cooking spray. Bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy these soft pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk.
Storing and Freezing Instructions:
To Store: I don’t recommend keeping these cookies at room temperature because they will “sweat” and become sticky. They still taste yummy, but the tops get sticky. I recommend freezing them.
To Freeze: Allow baked cookies to cool completely, then transfer to a freezer safe ziplock bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Allow the cookies to come to room temperature (or microwave for a few seconds to enjoy one warm).

Notes
This recipe will make about 2 dozen small pumpkin cookies. I like to make mine extra big, like the ones you get at a bakery. I cook those extra big cookies for about 12-15 minutes, and it makes about 18-20 cookies.
