These Soft Baked Pumpkin Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies are the rustic, delicious dessert you were hoping for this season. Rolled in cinnamon-sugar before baking and full of chocolate, they are going to stand out at all your gatherings.
Pumpkin added to baked goods should not be left to just the Fall season. Pumpkin adds this magical quality to desserts unlike other vegetable additions we often throw into our baking creations. It’s just so good.
One of my favorite baking tricks is adding pumpkin to brownies, because pumpkin and chocolate are just the best pairing on the planet. Pumpkin also turns your coffee cake into perfection and has the best impact on breakfast muffins too. I won’t even mention how good pumpkin is in a smoothie. I need to use it more throughout the year.
For those of you who have been around this blog for a while, you know I am obsessed with making the best looking and tasting cookies, which is why I bake my cookies in whoopie pie pans. They turn out perfect every time; round, pretty, tasty and soft.
I weigh every single one of my cookie balls with a baking scale so they all cook evenly and fill each well of the pan. Perfect rounds! I also press on extra chocolate chips to the surface of each raw cookie ball as these chips do not sink inside while baking. Presentation is everything right?
These cookies are delicious enough to be served throughout the season (even Christmas) and will make the perfect addition to the holiday, dessert buffet table. They are also rustic enough to make an appearance at all your tailgating festivities this Fall.
All three dozen of these cookies disappeared at a little teenage study party that was happening over here the other night. I just can’t seem to keep them in stock once they emerge from the oven.

These look absolutely delicious! I don’t think I’ve ever tried pumpkin in cookies before (pumpkin is not all that common an ingredient here in Denmark), so I should definitely make these – a combination of pumpkin and cookies, two of my favorite things, must be good 🙂
Love, Emma

Can you tell me if there is something I can use as an egg substitute in this recipe due to an egg allergy!
