There’s nothing that answers those sweet tooth cravings better than a hot-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookie. With their crisp outer edges, melty chocolate pockets and soft, buttery centers—what’s not to love? But every year when the leaves start to change color and the air gets cooler, the craze for pumpkin begins. Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin bars, pumpkin bread and now, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! This easy recipe starts with a pouch of Betty’s chocolate chip cookie mix and uses pumpkin butter and pumpkin pie spice for the ultimate fall cookie. Pumpkin butter lends the cookie a tender and melt-in-your-mouth effect, while the pumpkin pie spice adds the warming flavors of the season!

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We love making these cookies with chocolate chips, but using chocolate chunks can offer a unique look. Most grocery stores sell chocolate chunks, but if you can’t find them, an easy way to create chunks is by chopping a chocolate baking bar into pieces.
  • tip 2
    This recipe includes 1/8 teaspoon of ground red pepper (cayenne) but feel free to omit this ingredient, if desired. It’s not overwhelming, it just enhances the warming effects from the pumpkin pie spice.
  • tip 3
    So, what’s pumpkin butter? It’s often sold during the fall season at most grocery stores near the jams and jellies. If you can’t find it in store, try searching online. Or, try making your own! Here’s Betty’s recipe for pumpkin butter.
