These pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies have a soft, cake-like texture with a warm, cozy flavor. The pumpkin adds natural moisture and a subtle sweetness, while the spices (often cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves) give them that classic fall taste. The chocolate chips melt into little pockets of richness, balancing the pumpkin perfectly. Overall, they taste like a mix between a pumpkin bread and a chocolate chip cookie—comforting, slightly spiced, and absolutely delicious! Thanks for the great recipe.
