Timesaving and Best Tips for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
- You can make the cookie dough ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight.
- If you want flatter cookies, you can gently press the dough with the bottom of a glass or the back of a spoon before baking.
- Pumpkin pie spice can be subbed for the nutmeg and allspice.
- They are super easy to make and chances are you have all the ingredients on hand. Before making these, gather all of your ingredients and also be sure to have parchment paper on hand. I find that my cookies bake more evenly on the baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper.
- Be sure to let cookies cool completely before serving or they will fall apart.
- I used mini chocolate chips, but you can use regular chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips with this recipe.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
