Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Step 4: Form the Dough
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
Step 5: Scoop and Bake
7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffy. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 6: Cool and Enjoy
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix until just combined.
- Use Fresh Spices: For the best flavor, make sure your spices are fresh and fragrant.
- Chill the Dough: If your dough feels too soft, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes before baking.
