Why You'll Love This Recipe
Uses Leftover Pumpkin: This cookie recipe with leftover pumpkin is a great way to use up pumpkin whenever you open a can. Pumpkin doesn’t have to be just a fall ingredient as it’s such a good super food for you (and your dog)! I feed John John pumpkin regularly with his Chicken and Pumpkin Dinner for Dogs, so when I have leftover pumpkin I love using it for cookies!
Naturally Eggless: As someone who eats eggs, I’m a huge fan of eggless cookies as they actually are softer and chewier than cookies with eggs! There’s more on that in my book Effortless Eggless Baking. But if you have an egg allergy or simply just run out of eggs, these eggless cookies with pumpkin, oats, and chocolate chips are so good!
Soft & Chewy: This recipe for Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and chewy, just like your classic oatmeal or chocolate chip cookies. I make these bigger than my usual cookies, so they are even more soft and chewy! One if these cookies equals about two of my regular sized cookies. Check out my article How Many Cookies Equal a Big Cookie for more info on cookie sizing and portions.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix on low until combined and there are no butter chunks.
Add the pumpkin, flour, oats, coconut, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt in that order and mix together. Add the chocolate chips and mix again to combine into a smooth dough.
Step 3
Using your hands, form the dough into 12 balls and place on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten them slightly so they’re about 2 ½-inches in diameter.
Step 4
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately after coming out of the oven (optional). Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets. (Be sure to check the Notes at the bottom of the recipe if you are baking at high altitude for the high altitude instructions!).
FAQ's
Yes, this is a great recipe to make vegan because they are already eggless. Just swap out the butter for your favorite vegan butter. The one I tested with this recipe is Miyoko’s.
Yes, I have a simple adjustment to make these gluten free in the Notes at the bottom of the recipe. I even link to the flour that was used to test these. If you’re baking gluten free just be sure your oats are also gluten free.
Of corse, feel free to substitute the mini chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips or semi sweet chocolate chips, you could even do white chocolate chips.
Yes, nuts would be delicious in these cookies. I’d recommend pecans or walnuts. Try adding 85 grams (3 ounces) chopped nuts. Also be sure to remove some of the chocolate chips to make room for the nuts, I’d recommend removing 57 grams (2 ounces).
