Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Soft, chewy, pumpkin-spiced cookies are packed with pumpkin flavor and big chocolate chunks. They look like a traditional chocolate chip cookie, but taste like perfectly pumpkin-y ones.
Servings: 20 cookies

Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Whisk
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup pumpkin puree , (blotted with paper towel)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped dark chocolate, or chocolate chunks
- flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in the blotted pumpkin purée and vanilla extract.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a large spoon until combined and no streaks of flour remain. Fold in most of the chopped chocolate, reserving a handful for the tops.
- Cover and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 10 minutes. This helps prevent spreading.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them a few inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Press a few reserved chocolate chunks onto the tops of each dough ball.
- Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
