Pumpkin cookies that are soft, moist, and full of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and dotted with white chocolate chips. These soft pumpkin cookies will be a favorite every fall!
Things I’m obsessed with:
- Fall
- Colorful leaves
- pumpkin flavored coffee
- pumpkin bread
- pumpkin flavored candy
- pumpkin cookies
- basically, pumpkin everything
- Except actual straight pumpkin, because have you ever? Ew.
So, what I’m saying is that I’m so basic. I know.
I can’t help myself. I like pumpkin and you people only let me bake with it for a few short months every year, so I tend to go overboard. By the time there is snow on the ground, I’ll be just as happy as you to see the season end. But, until then, I’m still obsessed.
Today, I have a recipe for soft pumpkin cookies. The texture very much reminds me of a quick bread, but these are better because they’re cookies.
My pumpkin cookies recipe is bursting with fall flavor.
I made these cookies the other morning. They’re so moist and fluffy that I couldn’t resist eating them for breakfast.
These easy pumpkin cookies are bursting with Fall flavors. Pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, it’s all in there.
They’re dotted with white chocolate chips, because hey, why not? Dark chocolate chips would be divine too, obviously.

Something is off with this recipe… either needs more flour, cook on higher temp, or cook way longer than 12 min. Most of the cookies came out raw in the middle..Good flavor though..
Karly says
Hi Christy! Did you use a small cookie scoop? If not, they’d need more time in the oven. Either way, it sounds like they probably needed a couple more minutes for you.
EDawgATL says
Just made these with my 10 year old, for a November Girl Scout bake sale. Of course, we had to test them first. Delicious!!!
Rosie Hinshaw says
I’ve been making these cookies for 10 years. The recipe I had called for chocolate chips but it just didn’t sound good. So I used white chocolate chips. And they’ve been a hit ever since. I’ve also used butterscotch chips and they too are delicious.
Dianna Wright says
does yours have oatmeal in them? i had one and lost it with oatmeal chocolate chips spices and a lot more and they were so good
Becca says
Can these be frozen once baked?
Karly says
I haven’t tried it, but I imagine they’d freeze like any other cookie. 🙂
Rebecca says
Can you refrigerate the dough and use the next day? I was asking as I wanted to bake the morning of bringing them to my daughters school for the staff. I wanted them nice and warm. Thanks!
Karly says
Yep, that should work just fine!
Marsha says
I LOVE pumpkin cookies! Can’t beat adding white chocolate chips!
Mike from Chili Pepper Madness says
It’s finally pumpkin time! I love all the white chocolate in these. Making them again VERY SOON!
Renee Norris says
Is the recipe for high altitude
Karly says
No, it wasn’t created with high altitude in mind. I don’t have experience baking at higher altitudes.
J says
