Ingredients

• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup pecans, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a medium-sized cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly underbaked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer 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.
