{Non-Cakey} Pumpkin Spice Chocolate-Chip Cookies

The best {non-cakey} pumpkin spiced chocolate-chip cookies. Crisp exterior, chewy interior, and easy to make in one bowl with no mixers needed!

Anyways, the cookies were great, but not my favorite. I’d say the biggest complaint in the reviews (although I admit I didn’t read them all) were the lack of spice and the overall cakiness of the cookies. While I actually love cakey pumpkin chocolate-chip cookies (it’s what I grew up on!), I also appreciate a standard crispy pumpkin cookie too.

So after quite a bit of taste testing and adjusting of that recipe, I present a NON-Cakey, chewy on the inside, crisp on the outside, pumpkin spice cookie. It’s not overpoweringly pumpkin flavored, but it definitely has the pumpkin taste and spices for a great Fall cookie.

And speaking of those spices, EVERYONE is so different with the amount of spice they like! It’s such a personal preference so make sure you take this into account with these cookies. The spices listed in the recipe was what my family considered perfect, but it may be too much or too little for you. Adjust to your own preference. Also, note that the next day these cookies are much more flavorful. After sitting overnight, the spices and pumpkin really intensify.

So what exactly can you expect from these cookies? A delicious Fall-spiced cookie. It’s not overwhelmingly pumpkin and as a result not a cakey cookie. Each bite is bursting with milk chocolate chips and tons of flavor. These cookies are soft, chewy, and have a delicious crisp exterior.
