These chocolate pumpkin cookies are chewy, fudgy, and absolutely delicious. Many times pumpkin cookies have an odd texture—these don’t!
Confession: I don’t like the taste of pumpkin on it’s own. I don’t like the flavor of texture of pumpkin pie, and I don’t care for pumpkin cookies UNLESS they are somehow paired with chocolate. Pumpkin chocolate chip bread? YES, please. Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies? Yum.
These chocolate pumpkin cookies are chewy, fudgy, and absolutely delicious. Many times pumpkin cookies have an odd texture—these don’t! I used mychewy chocolate chip pumpkin cookie recipe and tweaked it a bit to make a solid chocolate version. You get a blast of chocolate fudgy chunks, but also the pumpkin and spice flavors. Perfection.
I like adding extra chocolate chunks (or chips) onto the tops of my cookies as soon as they get out of the oven. It’s easy to do and gives them that “wow” factor! Mac likes that little detail too (my 2-year-old). I caught him eating JUST the chunks off of the cookies several times, ha!
One batch of chocolate pumpkin cookies makes 3 dozen. They will stay fresh 3-5 days if stored in an air tight container. If you can’t find chocolate chunks you can substitute chocolate chips.
Tip: for uniform cookies every time, use a cookie scoop! One of my favorite kitchen tools.
