This recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies has been in my family for YEARS!
It is the perfect recipe for a delicious fall cookie. Super simple to mix up with a yummy, soft, almost cake/muffin-like consistency, and just the right amount of chocolate chips sprinkled throughout!
These never last long at our house. You may want to make a double batch.

I like to use semi sweet chocolate chips in this recipe, It really brings out the cinnamon and pumpkin flavor.

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. 🙂
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. 🙂
What does “fold in” mean?
Gently stir them in until they are evenly distributed.
These look delicious! going to make them right now 🙂
Thanks Rachel,
