Description
Delicious pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that are perfect for fall.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 ounces baking chocolate (see note #1)
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (270 g flour)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- flakey salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Start by melting the butter on the stove-top. Slice the butter then add it to a medium pot over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat.
- Roughly chop the baking chocolate into a variety of sizes. Small pieces of chocolate will create swirls of melted chocolate, while larger chunks will make chocolate puddles. Set aside.
- For cookies with melted chocolate throughout, use the pot with the melted butter to make the cookie dough. For cookies with less melted chocolate, transfer the melted butter to a new mixing bowl.
- To the melted butter add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pumpkin puree. Stir until well combined. Whisk in the egg yolk, stirring continuously until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Add half of this to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined. Stir in the remaining flour mixture.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate. The more the dough is stirred, the more the chocolate will melt and distribute throughout the dough.
- Use a 1-ounce (2 tablespoons) cookie scoop to portion cookie dough on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Leave 3 inches between cookie dough.
- Bake at 350F for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with optional flakey salt. Transfer to a wire cooling rack once firm enough to handle. Enjoy!
