The combo of pumpkin and triple the chocolate in these thick, chewy cookies is out of this world delicious!
I love big, rich, chocolate cookies so I thought why not add a little pumpkin to make them incredibly moist and spice to make them fall-tastic. And ta-da…these triple chocolate pumpkin cookies are literally melt in your mouth magic.
I love love the gooeyness that the pumpkin and chocolate creates in these otherwise cakey cookies. So incredibly comforting…like pillows of pumpkin chocolate cookie dreams come true.
With cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips all in one cookie, chocolate lovers are sure to rejoice!
So put that pumpkin to perfect use this fall by baking these incredible cookies. They’re love at first bite!
Enjoy!

November 7, 2017 at 11:01 pmHello, I was so much looking for an easiest recipe of pumpkin cake/cookies and I’m so excited to try yours now. Please make me understand if I need to purée the pumpkin or keep it in small chunks? Thank you xxx

November 8, 2017 at 12:46 amHi Aarti! I use pure pumpkin from a can that is already smooth, not necessarily pureed because you don’t want it too watery or runny. If you have chunky pumpkin, make sure it is well drained of any excess liquid before blending it to mix in the cookies. Hope this helps. Enjoy! 🙂
