Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until they are fully blended to distribute the leavening and spices evenly.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This creates air pockets for a tender cookie.
  4. Add Egg and Pumpkin: Beat in the egg followed by the pumpkin puree until they are thoroughly incorporated, forming a smooth, consistent batter.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overdeveloping gluten and to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  7. Scoop the Dough: Drop heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each to allow for spread.
  8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
  9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your chewy, pumpkin-spiced treat!

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree for authentic flavor.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain chewy texture.
  • For extra gooey cookies, use a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Adjust cinnamon amount to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder spice profile.
