Description

Delicious and chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies combining the warmth of fall spices and rich chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup Libby’s Pumpkin Puree (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large egg yolks (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup finely chopped chocolate bar or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. In a large stainless steel pan, brown the butter until it smells nutty and has brown bits; remove from heat.
  3. Transfer the browned butter into a glass bowl and refrigerate until cooled to around 75°F (24°C).
  4. Prepare the pumpkin puree by pressing it with paper towels to absorb excess liquid.
  5. Once the butter is cooled, whisk in brown sugar and granulated sugar until it resembles pale wet sand.
  6. Mix in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until combined.
  7. Fold in the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips until just combined.
  8. Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, roll the dough into balls and space them 2-3 inches apart on prepared trays.
  9. Bake one tray at a time for 9-13 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly underbaked.
  10. After baking, use a large round cookie cutter to shape the cookies and let them cool on a wire rack.

Notes

For perfect chewiness, avoid overmixing the dough and consider chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping.
