Now that we’re officially into October, it’s a good idea to enjoy as many pumpkin-flavored treats as possible.

After all, there tends to be a small window when pumpkin-crazed-everything is more acceptable.

While I , Alex, suppose you can enjoy these oh so chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies all year long.

They somehow taste best when the air is crisp and cool, when the leaves start to turn and when sundresses and flip flops are slowly replaced by boots, cozy sweaters and scarves. 

What’s even better about these cookies?

Not only do you get to shamelessly indulge in your pumpkin obsession, but you also get the perfect chewy chocolate chip cookies.

Why you might ask?

Well, these cookies will continue to get chewier as they cool, making them great right out of the oven and just as delicious the next day! Aka delicious chewy cookies all week long!

Easy Recipe: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

To make these cookies extra chewy, I call for melted butter instead of oil or the regular stick kind.

While most cookie recipes call for creaming the butter and sugar together first, this batter is made by first melting, then cooling butter and adding it to pumpkin puree, regular and brown sugar, and vanilla extract.

The result is a light, ultra-chewy cookie — my favorite.

Benefits of Chilling Cookie Dough Beforehand

Because of the steps mentioned above, it’s a must to chill the dough before scooping and baking.

Thirty minutes in the fridge should be plenty of time.

In case the dough seems too wet though, chill for longer or add a bit more flour before baking.

This process allows the flour to full hydrate and the fats to fully cool in the fridge.

And because so, the cookies will expand more slowly in the even when baked and hold their texture.

The cookies will be less flat and a lot more chewy.
