Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup canned pumpkin purée
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons 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 and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat in the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir 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 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden on the edges.
- Cool: Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- These cookies are soft and cakey thanks to the pumpkin.
- For a chewier texture, reduce the pumpkin purée slightly and chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
