These cookies are pure fall goodness, soft and chewy with a delightful pumpkin flavor. Who knows, they might just change your life! And the best part? This recipe is super flexible, so it can fit into most diets or restrictions.
Let me tell you, these cookies are a game-changer. Crispy on the outside, thick and chewy on the inside, and packed with chocolatey goodness—they’re irresistible!
The secret to these cookies, much like my “Life Changing Chocolate Chip Tahini Cookies,” is in chilling the dough before adding the egg and baking soda, then slightly undercooking them. Don’t worry, the egg will be fully cooked, but the cookies will stay delightfully gooey inside. And yes, you can make them vegan by using a flax egg!
Now, let’s gather our ingredients:
