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!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Little by little, add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until the flour has just disappeared.
