Chewy Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Chip Brownies

It’s finally fall! Which means… ALL THE FALL FLAVORS! This year, I’m kicking it off with one of my favorite flavors: pumpkin.

I’m a year-round pumpkin kind of person, but coming out of summer, I usually limit my indulgence in this special flavor until the first official day of fall (not post-Labor Day). So I was excited to break out some canned pumpkin (of which I’m thankfully stocked up on) and go to town on these cookies!

These cookies are delightfully soft and chewy and full of pumpkin flavor. With a warm blend of spices, they’re a perfect treat for these cooler days.

Up until this year, I purchased my pumpkin spice pre-mixed from the store. But with the recent discovery of Burlap & Barrel spices, I decided to mix my own blend using some of their amazing offerings. Let me tell you, their Royal Cinnamon blew me away – and as a crucial ingredient in pumpkin pie spice, they take these cookies to a new level! I also utilized their Ground Allspice in this mix. I included my spice ratio below, but feel free to use store-bought pumpkin pie spice.
