Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Step 7
Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
