Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark

Method
 

Cookie Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up while cooling.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or swapping chocolate chips for white chocolate or butterscotch chips. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
