Pumpkin Spice Latte Chocolate Chip Cookies

These pumpkin spice latte chocolate chip cookies are THE COOKIE that you need to make this fall! They taste like a pumpkin spice latte, in cookie form and are soooo good, you’ll find the cookies vanishing right before your eyes!

Every year, I try to hop on the pumpkin recipe bandwagon. You know…the bandwagon where people are posting pumpkin recipes in July? As a food blogger, I know I’m already late to the pumpkin party, because you see, food bloggers make things months and months in advance in hopes of getting ahead of the season (understandably so, because recipes won’t show up if you’re too late in the game).

A bowl with pumpkin pureeSigh. I try you guys, I do. But, in hopes of being trendy and not getting too behind this year (I’m not kidding, I know food blogger friends who were making Christmas recipes last week saying they were behind lol) I’m posting these awesome pumpkin spice latte chocolate chip cookies.

A bowl of cookie dough and dough on a baking sheetThese cookies are YEARS in the making. My husband can attest to this! Every time I tried to make pumpkin cookies, they would turn out like blob cake like things (I’m not even going to call them cookies). Seriously, over the years I’ve tried so many variations and they were not even close to what I was envisioning, and then this year I decided to give it a go, and omg, the end result was the best fall inspired chocolate chip cookies ever!

The trick to making these cookies into actual cookies is using a combination of whole wheat and all purpose flour. The whole wheat flour and just using an egg yolk instead of a whole egg make all the difference in the world, and make truly scrumptious cookies! Also, whenever we’re talking about cookies, my three tips for perfect cookies every time are:

  • When mixing in the chocolate chips I’ve been told to always use a wooden spoon– this could very well be an old wives tale, but I follow it!
  • I use a cookie scoop (like this one) when measuring out the cookie batter – it helps make consistently sized cookies – it also happens to be one of my favorite kitchen utensils.
  • Lastly let’s talk about silicone baking mats….when my grandma-in-law gave me these silicone baking mats last year I thought nothing of it…until I used them for the first time. They are life changing! They make baking cookies a breeze, I would definitely definitely suggest getting some for your kitchen!

Pumpkin spice latte cookies on a baking sheetThe cookies taste like a pumpkin spice latte, minus the fake taste (sorry, I’m one of those people that doesn’t like the chemically taste in the famous pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks). They’re such a good cookie, I cannot stop raving about them.

Pumpkin spice latte cookies on parchment paper and in a freezer bagThey’re also great for storing in the freezer. What I do is I make the dough into balls, put 12 dough balls on a piece of wax paper and then put them in a freezer gallon storage bag and then whenever I want cookies, all I have to do is take out a dozen and bake them!

Person holding a white plate with pumpkin spice cookiesEvery year I make a pumpkin recipe, here are the pumpkin recipes of years past:

  • 5 Ingredient Pumpkin Pie
  • The Best Pumpkin Loaf
  • Mini Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Caramel Frosting
  • 5 Ingredient Pumpkin Chili Biscuit Bake

These pumpkin spice latte chocolate chip cookies are truly the recipe to make this fall, they’re so unique and delicious!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Servings: 6 dozen

Equipment

  • Cookie Sheet
  • Cookie scoop

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks of butter 16 tablespoons
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee cooled
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl microwave butter for 1 minute if butter is refrigerated or 30 seconds if it is room temp-it should be 3/4 melted, a little solid. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and stir to combine, then stir in the coffee.
  • Next add in the egg yolk and stir. Pour in the brown sugar and granulated sugar and stir until combined.
  • Pour whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt in and stir until all ingredients are combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips.

  • Put dough in the refrigerator for an hour (this step is optional, I've tried both with and without refrigeration, both work great.)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange oven racks to the top and bottom 1/3 of the oven. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • Scoop dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon size balls (I use a cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake cookies for 5 minutes, then change cookie sheets to different oven position (if the cookies are on the bottom self transfer them to the top shelf) and bake for another 6 minutes. Cookies should bake for 11-12 minutes or until slightly browning on edges (only slightly). Then remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Then enjoy.

    I am not a fan of the chocolate and pumpkin combo, but I like lattes. Would the cookies still turn out okay if I didn’t add the chocolate chips, or would leaving them out ruin the texture?

      You could definitely omit the chocolate chips, they will be more ‘cakey’ vs. ‘cookie’ if that makes sense? Hope you enjoy!!

    These are the best cookies I’ve ever made. This is my fifth batch in a month, and everyone in my household grabs one every time they walk past the plate. I have been thinking about making these with a heavy chai tea instead of coffee. Would that work?

        Like the idea of using chai… also thought of using Carmel chips instead of chocolate chips.
        There are so many ways to tweak the recipes you share with us. I really appreciate that.

    Hi. I plan to make these this weekend, but want to make sure I don’t need to cream the butter and sugar. The recipe says to just stir until combined. Is that all we need to do? I can do all the mixing by hand, without a machine? Thank you.

      You can always cream the butter and sugar if you’d like, I used a spoon but again, you could use a hand mixer if you’d like 🙂 hope you love these cookies!!

      Hi Jim,

      I just made them. Very easy! I melted the butter completely then mixed it with sugar and there was no problem. I also added pecans, tart dried cherries and about a half a cup of Bailey’s Cream. Next time instead of the Bailey’s I think I would try a schnapps such as Kirschwasser (cherry schnapps) or Birnen (pear schnapps) or even Aquavit. to cut the richness. Because I put the dough in the fridge over night and did not allow it to warm a bit I had to bake them at least two minutes longer or more. They are very delicious but very rich but so good.

        How much booze did you add? Did you substitute the booze for the coffee? How did you make up for the liquid?

    These cookies are INCREDIBLE! I followed the recipe exactly as listed except mine took about 20-25 minutes to fully bake. 10/10 would recommend.

        Thanks for the feedback – I tend to like these cookies on the softer side, I’ll add a note to the recipe though regarding the salt.

        Hi Carol, I just read one of your previous comments where you mentioned you added different ingredients to these cookies than listed, glad they worked out, but I did not test them with different kinds of booze in the cookies, so I’ll leave the bake time as written 🙂

        After a holiday in New England last year, I’m slightly obsessed with all things Fall. Been scouring internet for recipes to create some autumnal treats! I would love to try this recipe but have no idea about us measurements , how much is a stick of butter? However, today I’m going out to source a tin of pumpkin purée – not an easy task in Scotland !! However I have my pumpkin spice mix from the Vermont Country Store all ready to go!
