Remove pumpkin cookie dough from refrigerator.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Using a 2 teaspoon sized cookie scoop, scoop 12 level balls of pumpkin cookie dough out onto prepared baking sheet. Using the same sized cookie scoop, do the same with the double chocolate cookie dough. Refrigerate 10-20 minutes until pumpkin cookie dough doesn't stick to your hands when touched.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Once doughs have chilled together, push together gently to form a round cookie dough ball. Bake 8-10 minutes or until flattened and baked. Middle might seem slightly underdone in the middle, but will finish cooking on the sheet. Once removed from oven, cool 3 minutes on hot pan before removing.

Serve warm.

Cookies will keep in airtight container for up to 3 days.
