Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

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

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when the cookie dough is prepared.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a rich base for the cookies.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly until the ingredients are fully blended.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  5. Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn lightly golden, signaling they are cooked through.
  9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them set properly.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
  • For a spicier flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cloves or ginger to the dry ingredients.
  • These cookies freeze exceptionally well; simply thaw them before serving for a quick treat.
