Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2
In a medium bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, salt and spices until well combined.
- Step 3
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract, and mix to combine.
- Step 4
Turn the mixer to low, and add the dry ingredients. Mix until a few streaks of flour remain. Remove the bowl from the mixer, add the chocolate chips and use a rubber spatula to fold the mixture until well combined.
- Step 5
Scoop the cookies onto prepared baking sheets using a 1-ounce (roughly 2 tablespoon) cookie scoop, 2 inches apart. Gently press the cookies with your fingertips to flatten them slightly. The batter is quite sticky, so you may occasionally have to rinse the cookie scoop and your fingers during this process.
- Step 6
Put the cookies in the oven, and bake, until they are slightly cracked on the surface and golden, and rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes.

I wanted to make these vegan, so I eliminated the cream cheese and butter. Added an additional 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree and used 1/3 cup of vegetable oil. They were delicious!
Well spiced and all-around yummy fall recipe. I made these at altitude (Denver/~5000 feet) and adjusted with the standard changes (2 extra tbsp flour, only 7/8 tsp baking soda, 2 tbsp extra pumpkin, and 1 tbsp less sugar). I baked them at 370 but they still took between 12-15 minutes to turn golden. Recommend!
I was a little skeptical since there are no eggs! But they turned out great! I had to cook for about 16 minutes.
Just made these pumpkin chocolate chips this morning and they are delicious. I added 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger an yard a full cup of pumpkin. I took others' advice and only used 1 cup of dark chocolate chips. I measured 35g oer cookie. Once cooked, I added a gentle drizzle from a pumpkin cookie recipe of Susan Soicer's that i've had for years: 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water. The drizzle punched up the flavor just a bit and made the cookies excellent.
I skipped on the white sugar and subbed in two table spoons of sweetened condensed milk (leftover from Thanksgiving) and subbed in Greek yogurt for cream cheese. This recipe is foolproof. Whatever substitutions you make will be easily incorporated as long as you’re watching the balance between elements. I have made these several times and have always made adjustments and they’re perfect every time. For my wild substitutions the result is consistent.
These were easy and pretty good. Reduced the choc chips and added chopped walnuts for more interest.
