Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies after baking for an extra flavor boost.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips or butterscotch morsels if preferred.
