These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, cakey, and bursting with chocolate chips. They come together pretty quickly, too!
These are some of my favorite cookies. I usually make at least several batches during the course of the Fall and Winter. Aaaaaand one or two during the other times of the year. Let’s be honest.
If you’ve spent any amount of time poking around on A Nerd Cooks, you’ll be well aware that my love of pumpkin does not recognize the change of the seasons.
Pumpkin and chocolate are meant for one another. Don’t let anyone else tell you any different. Need more proof? Do yourself a favor and check out these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies, and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins!
