Instructions
Prepare Dough
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
- Gently fold in the pumpkin spice chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Bake & Cool
- Roll the dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place about 8 per cookie sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, press extra chocolate or pumpkin spice chips on top of each cookie.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake; cookies continue to firm as they cool.
- Extra chips on top create a beautiful presentation and highlight flavors.
