Fall clearly calls for pumpkin everything! One of my favorite pumpkin recipes are these super easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies!
These are a family favorite and wow the crowd every time we make them. They taste insanely good while camping and are starting to become a hunting camp tradition.
My husband and son LOVE these {which says a lot because the hubby isn’t big on desserts} This is a family recipe that my mom taught us to make, and everywhere you take these everyone wants the recipe. . . . they are so good you will want everyone to think you are this baking genius and they are super complex but they are far from.
My husband recently got him (and me!) a Traeger and one of the first ideas he had for something different to cook on it were these Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. Brilliant! I didn’t have to heat up my house for dessert and just swapped out dinner for dessert while we ate and I can not explain the new robust spice flavors these cookies had.
Now I’ve got to try making our Mini Pumpkin Pies on the Traeger for Thanksgiving! These are super fun for the kiddos to make for get together too.
I love taking these to events, parties, etc because its a different spin on the regular pumpkin pie and will knock any other cookies out. Sorry! LOL. (Actually, our Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies are pretty popular too, It’s been compared to Crumbl!)

After 5 minutes of it on the smoke, adjust your tempature to the convetional heat of 350.

Cookies will rise a little in size but do not spread much in diameter.
These taste great warm or cooled down and stay extremely moist when kept in air tight container.
Not a fan of chocolate chips? We’ve substituted Chopped Walnuts and it was the perfect swap and combination.
