The best pumpkin chocolate chip cookies – these are the perfect thing to make when you’re in the mood for fall baking!
A mess always gets worse before it gets better. Does that sound right? Or do I have that backward?
I hope I have it right, because my house is in a state right now! We started to do some furniture rearranging, and that just led to a huge urge to purge and declutter, and suddenly it looks extra chaotic and crazy right now.
Fall baking is such a good stress reliever, isn’t it? I love taking the time to bake and having the added bonus of the house smelling like cinnamon.
These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are the perfect fall treat. They’re thick, full of chocolate chips, and delicious. I haven’t tired of baking with pumpkin yet, have you? The pumpkin in these takes the place of eggs, helping these to hold together and keeping them from drying out.
These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are:
- thick and chewy
- loaded with chocolate chips
- top 8 allergen free
- the perfect fall dessert

Would it work to substitute Xylitol for the sugar in this recipe?

The clutter! I have a major urge to declutter my house, but no time to do it! I think I just have to make the time. :) I wish I had one of these cookies right now. They look so soft and chewy!
Ugh, I don’t have the time to do it the way I want to do it! It’s not as thorough as I’d like!
The name really does say it all! These look and sound absolutely amazing!!
Thanks, Sonali!
I agree: There’s not a more beautiful sight than a pile of warm, stuffed-with-chocolate cookies! These really do look like the best, Kelly! Swooning over all that chocolate chip goodness!
Thanks, Sarah!
A few weeks ago I decided to reorganize my spice and baking cabinet. While I was doing it, it made the kitchen look like a disaster! But once I was done everything looked better than ever. Definitely better to look at cookies though, haha! These look delish!
Oh man, I have been there with the spice organization before! It can be very time consuming! :)
These look fabulous! And gluten free AND vegan? So awesome- pinning!
Thanks for pinning!
Haha, yes! The mess before the bliss ;) It is real, but will get better!
And stress relieving baking is a must!
Pumpkin cookies are my weakness! Also, I’ve been there with the declutter chaos – I always want to jump ship when the mess is at its peak. :)
I know, I was about ready to abandon ship, too!
Mmm these really do look like the best pumpkin cookies! I love the chocolate chips in here, Kelly! Sounds delicious!
Thanks, Gayle!
