How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Follow these simple steps to create delicious pumpkin chocolate chip cookies:

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: Start by combining the wet ingredients. Dissolve the baking soda in milk, then stir it into the mixture.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients, and then fold this mixture into the wet ingredients.
  3. Add Final Touches: Stir in the walnuts, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
  4. Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets and bake until the cookies are firm.

How to Store Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

To keep your pumpkin chocolate chip cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For added softness, consider placing a piece of white bread in the container to help absorb moisture.

Can You Freeze Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Absolutely! You can freeze both baked cookies and cookie dough:

  • Freezing Baked Cookies: Let the baked cookies cool completely. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet, cover, and freeze for about three hours or overnight. Once frozen, transfer the cookies to a zip-top bag or freezer-safe container, wrapping them in foil for extra protection. They can be stored in the freezer for up to two months.
  • Freezing Cookie Dough: Drop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and freeze for about three hours or overnight. After freezing, transfer the dough balls to a zip-top bag or freezer-safe container and wrap in foil for added protection. You can freeze the dough for up to two months.
