I could eat a Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Butter Cookie all year-round.
In fact, I’m not sure why I haven’t.
The pumpkin police aren’t going to come after me for baking up a batch of my famous ultimate dark chocolate chip pumpkin muffins in the middle of July. Something tells me they have bigger food criminals to capture like the Christmas in July folks. I see you!!
What’s in my Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Butter Cookies?
The batter for this recipe is just like your basic chocolate chip cookie. BUT! The additions you will add is pumpkin butter and two kinds of chocolate chips.
What is Pumpkin Butter?
Great question! Pumpkin butter is a mixture of sweetness and spices. Think of it as pumpkin pie filling but wayyyyyy better! You can find pumpkin butter at many of your local grocery stores or Amazon! You can even make your own if you have some canned pumpkin laying around.
Tips for Baking Success:
– Make sure all your ingredients, especially egg and butter are at room temperature. This will help to make sure the cookies cook evenly.
– Slapping the pan against the counter is KEY to making gooey on the inside crisp on the outside cookie! PROMISE.
– Use chocolate chunks and chocolate chips for a variety of textures in the cookie!
Who’s ready for fall? I highly recommend making a batch or two of these Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Butter Cookies because they will go fast!
