Tips for making Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
- These never last long at our house. You may want to make a double batch. π
- *Scant means not quite, so in this recipe, it means not quite a half cup of oil.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, use my Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice.
- I like to use semi-sweet chocolate chips in this recipe. It really brings out the cinnamon and pumpkin flavor. However, you can use milk chocolate or white chocolate chips with good results.

Hello. How many cups of choco chips should I fold in? Thanks.
Whoops, I forgot to put that on the recipe. Thanks for catching it, I will go fix it. 1 cup or a little more if you like a lot of chocolate. π
Nevermind, heh. I clearly cannot read.
Actually you can read. My sister in law just called me about an hour ago to tell me I forgot to put how much salt. oops. I fixed it. Thanks for catching it. π
What does “fold in” mean?
Gently stir them in until they are evenly distributed.
These look delicious! going to make them right now π
