These pumpkin spice latte chocolate chip cookies are THE COOKIE that you need to make this fall! They taste like a pumpkin spice latte, in cookie form and are soooo good, you’ll find the cookies vanishing right before your eyes!

The best ever pumpkin spice latte cookies with chocolate chipsEvery year, I try to hop on the pumpkin recipe bandwagon. You know…the bandwagon where people are posting pumpkin recipes in July? As a food blogger, I know I’m already late to the pumpkin party, because you see, food bloggers make things months and months in advance in hopes of getting ahead of the season.

Pumpkin puree to make the best cookiesSigh. I try you guys, I do. But I do confess I don’t plan things out, I share what I’m making and enjoying in my home, in real time. But, in hopes of being trendy and not getting too behind this year (I’m not kidding, I know food blogger friends who were making Christmas recipes last week saying they were behind lol) I’m posting these awesome pumpkin spice latte chocolate chip cookies.

How to make the best ever pumpkin spice latte cookies with chocolate chipsThese cookies are YEARS in the making. My husband can attest to this! Every time I tried to make pumpkin cookies, they would turn out like bloby cake like things (I’m not even going to call them cookies). Seriously, over the years I’ve tried so many variations and they were not even close to what I was envisioning, and then this year I decided to give it a go, and omg, the end result was the best fall inspired chocolate chip cookies ever!

The trick to making these cookies into actual cookies is using a combination of whole wheat and all purpose flour. The whole wheat flour and just using an egg yolk instead of a whole egg make all the difference in the world, and make truly scrumptious cookies! Also, whenever we’re talking about cookies, my three tips for perfect cookies every time are:

  • When mixing in the chocolate chips I’ve been told to always use a wooden spoon– this could very well be an old wives tale, but I follow it!
  • I use a cookie scoop (like this one) when measuring out the cookie batter – it helps make consistently sized cookies – it also happens to be one of my favorite kitchen utensils.
  • Lastly let’s talk about silicone baking mats….when my grandma-in-law gave me these silicone baking mats last year I thought nothing of it…until I used them for the first time. They are life changing! They make baking cookies a breeze, I would definitely definitely suggest getting some for your kitchen!

The best recipe for pumpkin spice latte cookies with chocolate chipsThe cookies taste like a pumpkin spice latte, minus the fake taste (sorry, I’m one of those people that doesn’t like the chemically taste in the famous pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks). They’re such a good cookie, I cannot stop raving about them.

The best pumpkin spice latte chocolate chip cookiesThey’re also great for storing in the freezer. What I do is I make the dough into balls, put 12 dough balls on a piece of wax paper and then put them in a freezer gallon storage bag and then whenever I want cookies, all I have to do is take out a dozen and bake them!

The most amazing pumpkin spice latte chocolate chip cookiesEvery year I make a pumpkin recipe, here are the pumpkin recipes of years past:

  • 5 ingredient pumpkin pie
  • the best pumpkin loaf
  • mini pumpkin muffins with cream cheese caramel frosting
  • 5 ingredient pumpkin chili biscuit bake

These pumpkin spice latte chocolate chip cookies are truly the recipe to make this fall, they’re so unique and delicious!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Servings: 6 dozen

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks of butter 16 tablespoons
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee cooled
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl microwave butter for 1 minute if butter is refrigerated or 30 seconds if it is room temp-it should be 3/4 melted, a little solid. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and stir to combine, then stir in the coffee.
  • Next add in the egg yolk and stir. Pour in the brown sugar and granulated sugar and stir until combined.
  • Pour whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda in and stir until all ingredients are combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips.
  • Put dough in the refrigerator for an hour (this step is optional, I've tried both with and without refrigeration, both work great.)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange oven racks to the top and bottom 1/3 of the oven. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • Scoop dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon size balls (I use a cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake cookies for 5 minutes, then change cookie sheets to different oven position (if the cookies are on the bottom self transfer them to the top shelf) and bake for another 6 minutes. Cookies should bake for 11-12 minutes or until slightly browning on edges (only slightly). Then remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Then enjoy.

    Hi. I plan to make these this weekend, but want to make sure I don’t need to cream the butter and sugar. The recipe says to just stir until combined. Is that all we need to do? I can do all the mixing by hand, without a machine? Thank you.

      You can always cream the butter and sugar if you’d like, I used a spoon but again, you could use a hand mixer if you’d like 🙂 hope you love these cookies!!

    These cookies are INCREDIBLE! I followed the recipe exactly as listed except mine took about 20-25 minutes to fully bake. 10/10 would recommend.

        After a holiday in New England last year, I’m slightly obsessed with all things Fall. Been scouring internet for recipes to create some autumnal treats! I would love to try this recipe but have no idea about us measurements , how much is a stick of butter? However, today I’m going out to source a tin of pumpkin purée – not an easy task in Scotland !! However I have my pumpkin spice mix from the Vermont Country Store all ready to go!

          Hi! I think you’re going to absolutely love this recipe! A stick of butter is 8 tablespoons, about 4 ounces, hope that helps.

            Very tasty, but needed salt. The recipe should either call for salt, or salted butter!

        So, just sub the gf flour for the whole wheat and the all purpose flour in the recipe for a total of 3 1/4 cups of flour?

            Thanks! I know it seems like a stupid question, but it just seems like a lot of flour. I’ll be making these this weekend so I really appreciate your response. Thanks for the recipe!

            Hi Adria – did you make this with GF flour, and if so, how did they turn out?

          • Sweetphi says

            I’ve made these with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 baking flour and they turned out great.

            Awesome – thank you for responding! I still have quite a bit of pumpkin I pureed and then froze from this past fall. I’ve made your GF pumpkin bread multiple times now (for gifts too) and it’s definitely a winner.

There’s nothing I enjoy more than a cold, delicious iced coffee from Starbucks.
