My family has always loved Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies from the bakery, but the high price of them sent me in search of a recipe I could make at home. The first time I tried out the recipe the only change that I made was using butter instead of shortening (which I do not like). They turned out great and everybody loved them. The second time I substituted the butter with applesauce for a healthier cookie, and added food coloring to make them more orange. The cookies turned out soft and wonderful, and nobody missed the butter. The only other change I will make is using a bit less nutmeg, as I found it overwhelming. This recipe is a keeper!

We loved these cookies! However, my first batch nearly burned at 15 minutes. 10-12 was a more appropriate baking time and I also made them a bit larger.

I had never had pumpkin cookies before, but I was pleasantly surprised. These were addictive!

I make this recipe exactly as is and thought they were great. The only thing I would do different next time is add more chocolate chips. Some of the cookies ended up only having 1 chip in them.

Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are some of my favorite cookies. I made some alterations to the recipe- I used 6 Tbs shortning, 1 cup white sugar, 1/2 brown sugar, 1- 15oz can pumpkin (which is about 1 1/2 cups), 3/4 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 pumpkin pie spice. I also used a mixture of milk chocolate chips and white chips, and baked on a Silpat. My husband said they were by the far- the best I have ever made. They do come out pretty sweet, so if you don't like cookies too sweet, I suggest cutting back on the sugar.

I made these at the request of my teenage daughter and friend, and they were gobbled by the entire household. They loved the texture and taste. I am about to make them again!

My husband and I LOVE these cookies! I make them most during the holidays, especially at gatherings. I use a whole can of pumpkin though. They're a very cake-y cookie.

I have used this recipe time and time again and folks can't believe how good they are! I always double the recipe and use one large can of pumpkin. I use 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar, and add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.

I don't really like these... but my boyfriend loves them and I make them for him. I use the whole can of pumpkin and add some extra flour to the mix. I always end up having to cook them longer than the recommended amount...and they still come out a little doughy. My boyfriend prefers them after they've been chilled in the fridge for awhile. If I liked Pumpkin Choc Chip cookies, I'd like these. =)

These cookies wre awesome! Very tasty and moist.

These were REALLY REALLY good! Just seemed like it was missing a little something, but still great!

I added an extra scoop of pumpkin, a dash of cloves, and cut the nutmeg in half. Absolutely yummy!

This is a great recipe. I make them to take to work and for my family. They are always the hit of the potluck. I have had several people ask for these specifically when potluck's come up. A big hit.

I've been making these type of cookies for years and they're always a favorite of my kids...I don't care for the pumpkin chocolate combo so I substitute the chocolate chips for cinnamon baking chips...the combination is perfect and much better than the chocolate!

I have been using this recipes since 1999! It is delicious and always a hit wherever I take them! Easy to double.

Very good! The whole family loves them!

I just made a double batch for an upcoming Halloween party. I used the whole small can of pumpkin and added butterscoth and chocolate chips. Very easy and very good cookie.
