FAQ’S
What’s the best way to keep Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies soft?
To keep Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies soft, store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread. The bread will help maintain moisture, keeping the cookies fresh and soft for several days.
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin puree for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, but ensure it’s well-drained. Fresh pumpkin has more moisture, so pat it dry to prevent overly soft cookies.
Why are my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies spreading too much?
If Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies spread too much, it could be due to warm dough or excess moisture from the pumpkin. Try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spread.
What temperature should I bake Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies at?
Bake Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Baking at this temperature helps achieve the right texture without overbrowning.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies can be cakey because pumpkin adds moisture. For a less cakey texture, slightly reduce the pumpkin puree or add an extra egg yolk to add chewiness.
