Pumpkin Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!!! This combination in a cookie is amazing! You have to try these cookies!

Well, the day has arrived my friends. We’re back to school today. Yes, today . . . finally. I feel like everyone else in the country started school two weeks ago.

If you have kids, you know how tiring this last week has been. Getting ready for back-to-school, both physically and mentally. My youngest doesn’t want to go to pre-school. She’s not excited about going back today at all. A small part of me just wants to keep her home with me because I don’t want to see her crying when I drop her off.

Madeline has been home with me and Phoebe all summer and has gotten quite used to being at home and just having fun. Pumpkin Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies by Hip Foodie Mom with spatula

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe yields about 4 dozen cookies.
Course: Cookies
Servings: 4 dozen
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 heaping cup pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 1/4 cups blend of semi-sweet + bittersweet chocolate chips
  • Special equipment suggested: a OXO medium cookie scoop

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or your non-stick silicone baking mat.
  • Using your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar for about 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and pumpkin and mix together for another minute or 2. Add the creamy peanut butter and mix until well combined.
  • In a separate medium to large sized mixing bowl, blend together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. While your stand mixer is on a slow speed, slowly pour the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl if needed. Add the chocolate chips and mix again until fully incorporated.
  • Using your medium sized cookie scoop, or a little larger than a tablespoon, drop cookie dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet and press down on each slightly to make the cookies flatter and bake for about 12 -14 minutes, or until set and the edges of the cookies are nice and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

    Pumpkin & chocolate – oh BABY! I am very lucky: my gals have always wanted to go to kindy & school so I’ve never had that pull. I’m even more lucky as they are both healthy. What a great cause – good on you for supporting it.

    I can’t believe it’s already September! Soon, fall will whip past, it’ll be Halloween, then Christmas, and then 2015! Eeeeek! I can’t imagine how you feel, Alice. Sending your little ones off, seeing the tears, knowing that it’s gotta get done but wanting to do anything you can to stop the sadness. Yes, definitely exhausting. And lady, these cookies look fabulous (LOVE the use of pumpkin in a CCC! I’ve never tried that combo and now I totally want to) and for such a good cause.

    These cookies look like perfection and I can think of no better way to welcome your girls home.. It’s so hard to see them struggle through that transition, I cried when I dropped my oldest off for high school a few years ago.. took me completely by surprise. It’s so hard to see them grow up, I completely know those feelings Alice.. Hang in there. Fingers crossed for you!!

    Oh Alice, that must have been tough – I’m terrified that my lil guy won’t be able to adjust next September too when he starts school 🙁 Hope yesterday went well and both the girls had a great first day and rest of the week at school 🙂 Coming home to these cookies will hopefully help – they look absolutely amazing and such a wonderful wonderful cause too – pinning!

    Alice, these cookies look sensational. I pair pumpkin and chocolate in a few things, but not in a cookie, or with peanut butter. Great recipe and a terrific cause!

    Pumpkin + Peanut Butter?? I have never tried this but somehow I already know I’ll love it. Especially since chocolate chip cookies are involved.
    Oh my, I am glad I don’t have to think about back-to-school yet. My little girls just turned 2 months today and I cannot even imagine being away from her for half a day every day. Thank goodness we still have a couple of years 😉

        Haha…not sure how that extra ‘s’ snug in (must be sleep deprivation) but I only have one girl so far 😉 And I am absolutely enjoying every moment with her 😀

    These look incredible! I hope your sweet girl had a good time at preschool! My son had a hard time at first too, and it’s so hard leaving them when they’re crying! But it’s definitely good for kids (and moms!) so I hope that she adjusts soon. Maybe more cookies will help. 😉

    These cookies are beyond delish !!!! Pumpkin, peanut butter and chocolate chips???? YES.PLEASE!!!! And what a great cause to support! 🙂 I hope your cutie baby girl enjoys her time in school! I remember crying and throwing tantrums as well during my first day at preschool and a few years later, I was crying again but this time, because I didn’t want to leave school and all my friends!!!! I’m so sooooo sure she’ll have a FABULOUS time even if it’s difficult at first! :*

    Food for a cause is one of the best ways we can nourish our communities. I really admire the way you tackle any cause and project, it just shows me you have the biggest heart and I’m so happy to learn about not only your food, but the woman behind the food!

    Wow these cookies came out amazing! I made them for a game night. Made them gluten free and used allergy free chocolate chips because I can’t have soy or dairy. Also used dairy and soy free butter. They were so fluffy and delicious. Such a hit. Will be making again for sure.
