Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • a pinch ground cloves (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter for best creaming results. Do not overmix flour to keep cookies tender. Use canned pumpkin puree for consistent moisture. Chilling dough for 15-20 minutes before baking can reduce spreading. Watch baking time closely to keep cookies soft and chewy. Variations include gluten-free flour, dairy-free butter substitutes, and adding nuts or different spices.
