Ingredients:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
Egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1 tsp pumpkin spice

Instructions:

Tips and Tricks:

Save yourself clean-up time by lining your cookie sheet with parchment paper before baking.
This recipe works equally well using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
For best results, allow your ingredients to come to room temperature before you start baking.
I highly recommend you get yourself a cookie scoop! Using a scoop ensures that each of your cookies are a uniform size and shape, which also means even baking. It is a must-have kitchen tool for any home baker.
Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Keep them in a single layer or between wax paper. They are also be frozen and will last for up to 3 months this way.

I can feel good about packing these in the boys bento lunches because at least I know that they have a few healthy ingredients and are home made. Truly the kids love them and always request more!

Recipe Notes:

Leave out the chocolate chips for simple pumpkin spice cookies.

Substitute the pumpkin puree for apple sauce and the pumpkin pie spice for cinnamon and you have a whole new cookie!

FAQ:

I only have pumpkin pie filling. Is it the same as pumpkin puree? No, using pumpkin pie filling will give these cookies a different texture.
What can I use if I don’t have pumpkin pie spice? A combination of equal parts nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger works in a pinch.

Perfect for an afternoon snack or lunch box treat, I feel good about serving these pumpkin chocolate cookies to the boys, because at least I know that they have a few healthy ingredients in them and they are homemade. It doesn’t hurt that the kids honestly do love them and always request more!
