These double chocolate pumpkin cookies are the ultimate fall treat — thick, bakery-style cookies loaded with both semisweet and dark chocolate chips, warm pumpkin spice, and just a touch of pumpkin puree for flavor and softness. They’re crisp on the edges, chewy in the center, and packed with cozy autumn flavor. Perfect for pumpkin season, holiday baking, or anytime you crave a rich and chocolatey cookie!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons All purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup quality semi chocolate chips
  • 1 cup quality dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup walnuts optional

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together cold butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla for 3-5 minutes until creamy. This is crucial to baking that thick cookie so take your time and cream the ingredients until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the two large eggs and pumpkin puree, and mix well.
  3. Stir in baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, followed by the flours. Mix until just combined. Do not over mix. Stir in both cups of chocolate chips.
  4. Use a large ice cream scoop to form dough into large balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. You will fit 4-5 cookies on each cookie sheet. The dough makes 12 large cookies. Refrigerate baking sheets with cookie dough for 1 hour while you preheat your oven.
  5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown on top. They will look slightly uncooked in the center. Remove from oven and let them cool for 15 minutes until set. Enjoy!
