Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup softened butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup pumpkin purée make sure to squeeze out the excess juice
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin purée. Make sure to squeeze out the extra juice from the pumpkin to prevent the dough from becoming too soft. (I like to do this with a strainer or even using paper towels—whichever works best for you!)
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden, and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool co
