These chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are soft, gooey, and packed with warm fall spices and melty chocolate. Made with brown butter and blotted pumpkin for that signature chewy texture. No cakey cookies here!

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 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 teaspoon 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: Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line two baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Brown the butter: Brown the butter in a large stainless steel pan until browned and nutty. Cool it in the fridge until liquid but cool.
  3. Prepare the pumpkin: Spread pumpkin puree on a plate, press out excess liquid, and dry it.
  4. Mix sugars and eggs: Whisk brown sugar and granulated sugar with egg yolks and vanilla until pale.
  5. Add dry ingredients: Fold in flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips until just combined.
  6. Scoop and bake: Scoop cookie dough, roll into balls, place on trays, and bake until edges are golden brown.
  7. Cool and store: Cool cookies on a rack, then store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • The butter should be cool but still liquid for the best texture.
  • Dry out the pumpkin puree to avoid excess moisture in the cookies.
  • For pools of melted chocolate, press more chocolate on top before baking.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
  • Refrigerate or freeze cookie dough balls, bringing them to room temperature before baking.
