  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp ground cloves optional
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in egg, vanilla, and pumpkin puree until combined.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Gradually add to wet mixture.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake 12–15 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill dough 30 minutes before baking. Do not overbake for maximum chewiness.
