These pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies have crisp edges, chewy centers, hearty oats, warm pumpkin spice, and plenty of melty chocolate chunks.

And unlike so many pumpkin cookies, they aren’t cakey! The secret is one simple extra step: blotting the pumpkin puree to remove excess moisture before adding it to the dough.

There’s something about the first batch of pumpkin cookies that instantly makes it feel like fall. The second cinnamon and pumpkin spice hit the oven, I’m ready for changing leaves, football, crisp weather, and all the pumpkin desserts.

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

For all our chocoholics, these double chocolate chip cookies are about to become your new obsession. With double the chocolate and double the deliciousness, they are chewy, rich, and completely irresistible.

I struggled to find the perfect name for them whether it should be chocolate chip chocolate, chocolate chocolate chip, or simply double chocolate chip but one thing is certain this cookie recipe is absolutely divine.

I’m actually more of a fruit dessert kind of gal, and Cade is a chocolate lover, but when I make these cookies, it’s me who can’t stop eating them. I may have even grabbed a couple and eaten them alone in the pantry so I didn’t have to share with my kids. Shhhhhh…yes, I am one of those moms!

Ingredients You’ll Need

These double chocolate chip cookies are the best cookies for chocolate cravings. It starts like classic chocolate chip cookies and then we add all the chocolate! They could actually be called triple chocolate chip cookies because we have chocolate coming from three different directions. Yummmmm!

  • Unsalted Butter: Adds richness and helps create a soft, tender texture.
  • Eggs: Bind the dough and provide structure and moisture.
  • Sugar: Sweetens the cookies and helps them spread slightly.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds moisture, deeper flavor, and a chewier texture.
  • Vanilla Extract: Enhances and rounds out the chocolate flavor.
  • All-Purpose Flour: Gives the cookies structure and helps them hold their shape.
  • Salt: Balances the sweetness and boosts overall flavor.
  • Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise and stay soft.
  • Devil’s Food Pudding: Makes the cookies super soft, rich, and extra chocolatey.
  • Cocoa Powder: Deepens the chocolate flavor and darkens the dough.
  • Chocolate Chips: Add pops of melty chocolate throughout the cookies. (Use whatever kind you like! Milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips work great!)

Jump down to the recipe card for all the exact measurements.

What Kind of Cocoa Powder is Best?

For the richest flavor and deepest color, use a high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder. Natural cocoa powder works great in these cookies because it delivers a bold chocolate taste and reacts well with the leavening for a soft, tender texture.

If you want an even more intense, almost fudgy chocolate flavor, you can use Dutch process cocoa powder, but it may make the cookies slightly denser. Both options work, so choose based on the flavor you prefer and what you already have in your pantry.

Banana cream pie cookies are sweet and creamy with a graham cracker crust inspired cookie base and an easy banana cream filling. Now you can make this Crumbl cookie copycat in the comfort of your own kitchen!

Once upon a time I decided to make a peach crisp cookie which was like a peach crisp and a peach cobbler all in one. Then I figured an apple crisp cookie had to come next. It was divine!

So naturally I had to dabble into the cream pie-inspired cookies, and the key lime pie cookie was born and the pumpkin pie cookie quickly followed. And with each new cookie, someone would tell me that Crumbl had the same cookie. Ha! Blast those Crumbl people!

So I guess you can call these Crumbl cookie copycat recipes, but these recipes have really just been my imagination running wild. What kind of cookie should I try to make next that Crumbl hasn’t already made?! Is there anything? I know they have a banana cream pie cookie already, but ours is better! 🤫

Ingredients for Banana Cream Pie Cookies

The ingredients for this banana cookie recipe is divided into two components. First, you have the banana cream pudding and then you have the cookie base. Here is what you will need for both parts:

  • Whole Milk: Combines with the pudding powder to make the creamy filling.

  • Cream Cheese: adds richness and creaminess
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: adds more sweetness and creaminess
  • Cool Whip: You can use regular whipped cream but Cool Whip holds its thickness and structure better.

Cookie Base

  • Unsalted Butter: make sure it is softened but not melting at all
  • Cream Cheese: need to be softened so it will integrate into the cookie dough smoothly
  • Brown Sugar: adds rich flavor and sweetness
  • White Sugar: adds sweetness
  • Vanilla Extract: adds flavor
  • Eggs: adds structure to the cookie base
  • Almond Extract: totally optional, but I love the flavor it adds
  • Flour: just regular all-purpose flour
  • Cornstarch: adds chewiness to the cookies
  • Baking Powder and Baking Soda: adds fluffiness and rise to the cookies
  • Salt

Healthy Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Cookies

Healthy breakfast ideas are always something I’m looking for! These healthy apple cinnamon breakfast cookies are a family favorite and so perfect for grabbing as you walk out the door.

They are high in fiber, low in fat and sugar and full of flavor! And who doesn’t want cookies for breakfast?!

I’ve had this breakfast cookie recipe in a photocopied hand-out for years. When my husband & I started riding the bus at 6:15 every morning, I started looking for fast and healthy breakfast recipes. I pulled this one out, made some changes to lower the fat and raise the fiber and this is what I got. In addition to a healthier recipe, the cookies turned out to be more moist and tastier than ever!

I feel like there are a few breakfasts that I love, but I know aren’t good for me (hello french toast and killer breakfast sandwiches!) and they won’t keep me satisfied in a healthy way which means I’ll be making poor decisions all day. I try to choose better breakfast choices all week, like these breakfast cookies and then save pancakes for Saturday morning. One day a week doesn’t kill ya, especially if you’re still smart about what you eat for your other meals.

Whole wheat flour also has more iron, calcium, protein, and other nutrients than white flour.

Applesauce is lighter and has more water content than apple butter.
