Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin purée, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a softer texture, don’t overbake.
- You can add chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy twist.
