Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet to prevent the cookies from sticking during baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, white sugar, vegetable oil, and the large egg until well incorporated. In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda into the milk, then add this mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir thoroughly.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips, Walnuts, and Vanilla. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, optional chopped walnuts, and vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Shape and Bake Cookies. Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned and firm to the touch. For larger bakery-style cookies, use heaping tablespoons of dough and increase the baking time to 12-14 minutes.
  6. Cool the Cookies. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. For best flavor, chill cookies in the refrigerator and enjoy cold.

Notes

  • Enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of ground nutmeg or cloves along with the cinnamon for a more complex spice profile.
  • For bakery-style cookies, use heaping tablespoons of dough and bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
  • These cookies taste especially delicious when served cold from the refrigerator.
