Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Sweets and Add-ins

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Measure all your dry ingredients into one bowl and your wet ingredients into another. This organized preparation helps ensure even mixing and prevents overworking the dough.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Then add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, mixing just until combined.
  3. Combine dry and wet mixes: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently to blend everything without toughening the dough. Mix only until just combined.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough, ensuring each cookie has gooey pockets of chocolate.
  5. Scoop and bake: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form cookie rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to create a smooth dough.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to improve texture and shape.
  • Watch baking time closely; remove cookies when edges are set but centers look soft.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
