It’s understandable why this is one of our most popular fall treats. The cookie dough is transformed into a pillow-like cookie with big autumnal sensations by the addition of pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to formed pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
To freeze extra dough for later use, roll it into balls and place them immediately onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a Silpat. Place the entire tray in the freezer, then cool for about 4 hours, or until frozen. Put your dough balls back in the freezer after transferring them to a sealable bag or container. The dough doesn’t need to be defrosted before baking; just bake it for a few minutes longer to reach the desired doneness.
Pro tip: Do you want these to look even more chocolatey? Keep a few aside to sprinkle on top of the scooped cookies just before baking.

DIRECTIONS
