These Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies are SO simple and tasty! They will quickly become a fall favorite!

Butter and sugars in bowl

First, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar in a bowl.

Vanilla being added to bowl

Next, combine in the pumpkin puree, egg yoke, and vanilla.

Creamed butter and sugars

Mix altogether until it is completely combined.

Cookie dough in bowl

You will then stir in the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.) And finally, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. (But make sure to save some for later!)

Cookie dough balls on baking sheet

Using a cookie scoop, make cookie dough balls and place them on a prepared cookie sheet to bake.

Once the cookies are done baking, top them with the remaining chocolate chips immediately. This will melt the chocolate and you can spread it on top of the cookie for the finishing touch! Ta-da!

I love the chocolate drizzle on top of these cookies, however, if you are in a hurry or you don’t want to add the chocolate chips on top, that’s fine too!

I used a heaping 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to make these cookies. If you want smaller cookies, either level the cookie scoop or use a smaller scoop.
