Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling!)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls
• Electric mixer (or a sturdy hand whisk)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Spice Double Chip Cookies

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps prevent the cookies from sticking and ensures even baking.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar until smooth. Add in 1/2 cup pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.

3. Add the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

4. Fold in the Chocolate

Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup white chocolate chips. Make sure the chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

5. Drop and Bake

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.

6. Cool and Enjoy

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Then, grab a glass of milk, sit back, and enjoy the cozy goodness of these fall treats!

What to Serve With Pumpkin Spice Double Chip Cookies

These cookies are delightful all on their own, but if you’re looking to elevate your snack game, here are a few serving suggestions:

• A mug of hot chocolate or pumpkin spice latte.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
• Crumble them over a bowl of yogurt or pumpkin mousse for a delicious twist on parfait!

Tips for the Perfect Pumpkin Spice Cookies

• Pumpkin puree vs. pumpkin pie filling: Make sure you’re using pure pumpkin puree, not the pre-sweetened pie filling.
• Don’t overbake: The cookies may look slightly underdone when you take them out, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.
• Chill the dough: For thicker, bakery-style cookies, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
• Add-ins: Feel free to toss in some chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for extra flavor.

How to Store These Cookies

Room Temperature

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They’ll stay soft and chewy, especially with the moisture from the pumpkin.

Freezer Storage

Want to save some for later? Freeze the baked cookies in a sealed container for up to 3 months. To enjoy them, simply thaw at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to regain that fresh-out-of-the-oven feel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use other types of chocolate?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix it up with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even caramel chips. The sky’s the limit!

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.

Do I need to refrigerate the dough?
While it’s not necessary, refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help the cookies hold their shape better.
