I first made these cookies last October. These Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pudding Cookies are amazingly soft and full of chocolate gooeyness! But, pumpkin spice pudding is only available in grocery stores seasonally, so be sure to stock up now!
This recipe originally appeared on The Birch Cottage blog on October 1, 2015.
If you haven’t jumped on the pudding cookie wagon, you should! The cookies are easy to make and the results? Melt-in-your-mouth-yummy-goodness!

Each oven is a little different, but I baked my cookies for about 9 minutes. I tried 8 minutes for the first batch, but they were still a little doughy after letting them sit for a few minutes. Uhm, Lenny ate them anyway and said they were really good. I’m not sure I should trust him as my recipe tester anymore. Especially after he literally gave me two thumbs up for the first batch of caramel sauce I made, which just so happened to have been burnt caramel sauce. It was definitely not good.
These cookies, however, they are soft, with just a hint of pumpkin spice, chocolate-y goodness. A definite keeper! I made these cookies last year especially for our daughter Morgan. She loves pumpkin spice everything. These cookies definitely got her approval and I’ve made numerous batches since.

These sound wonderful! We visit my SIL and elderly MIL for Thanksgiving. My SIL does the traditional turkey dinner, but, since we stay several days, I like to take easy-to-carry-on-a-car-trip foods, too. These will be a huge hit! Thank You!
Mary Beth, you are so welcome! If you’re looking for more of a pumpkin taste, you might want to try adding a small amount of pumpkin pie spice. Either way, these cookies are soft and taste as good as they look! Hope your family enjoys!
