My Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and irresistible. They are packed with lots of fall spices, creamy chocolate, and a lot of pumpkin! Decadent and easy, they're the perfect fall cookie!
Sift the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices into a large bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
Mix the melted butter and sugars in a bowl, add the vanilla, and mix the pumpkin.
Add the flour mixture in, then mix until just combined. Add most of the chocolate chips and fold in to distribute.
Reserve a handful to place on top of each cookie at the very end, but that's optional. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour or two.
Preheat oven to 350F. Use a triggered ice cream scoop or tablespoon to portion out 1.5-2 inch balls, then roll each into a ball with your clean palms.
Place balls about two inches apart on a parchment paper or silicon-lined baking sheet and place the reserved chips on top. Bake at 350F for about 11 minutes. The cookies will be puffed up, and the edges will be set.
