Description
These Chewy Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Cookies are thick, chewy, dotted with cinnamon chips, and loaded with real pumpkin flavor in every bite. They have crispy edges, soft and chewy centers, and plenty of gooey cinnamon chips.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 15 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 1/2 cups cinnamon chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add in the sugars and vanilla and beat on medium-speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin puree and beat until it’s just combined, about 45 seconds. Gently fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula, stirring only until the flour begins to disappear. Fold in cinnamon chips.
- Roll 3 tablespoon-sized balls of dough between your palms to form a ball. They should be big, almost a 1/4 cup. Place them on the prepared sheet, leaving enough room between each cookie for spreading. Continue until all the dough has been rolled.
- Place baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 15-16 minutes, or until golden at the edges and set in the middle. Allow cookies to cool for 30 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Leave enough room between the dough balls because the cookies will spread while baking.
- For the best texture, bake until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
