    Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Oct 11, 2022 · 11 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    Today's cookie is a perfect combination of snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies. We spiced up the cookie dough with a homemade blend of Pumpkin Spice, then rolled them in cinnamon sugar for a soft chewy cookie with a sweet sugary crust.

    Pumpkin Cookies vs Pumpkin Spice Cookies

    To clarify today's recipe, these cookies are flavored with pumpkin spice not pumpkin puree.

    I took a traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe and added pumpkin spice to it then rolled each cookie in cinnamon sugar before baking. The result resembled that of a snickerdoodle- soft and chewy inside with a crisp exterior.

    Perfect for fall and winter, these Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies won't last long in the cookie jar.

    Recipe Q&A:

    • Can I make these with pumpkin puree? Yes, absolutely but it will change the texture slightly. If you wish to have more of a pumpkin flavor and colour to your batter add 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree. Your cookies will be softer and more moist than usual but it will still work for this recipe.
    • Can I make these gluten free? Absolutely! I don't suggest swapping AP flour entirely for just one other kind. When it comes to gluten free baking I always opt for a blend. You can use a store-bought blend or make one at home like one I have here or here.
    • Not a fan of cinnamon what else can I use in place? Allspice, cloves, cardamom, and nutmeg are great substitutes. A little goes a long way with cardamom and cloves so remember that when baking. A dash mixed into the sugar should still give you that warm spicy note without being too overpowering.

      Ohh these sound really yummy, I love the idea of cinnamon over the top too. Pumpkin spice isn't as much of a thing in the UK but it sounds perfect for Autumn x
