Description
Delightful soft and chewy cookies that blend the warm flavors of pumpkin with sweet chocolate chips, perfect for cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the baking sheet(s) or use parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate large bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until well blended. Add the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla, mixing until the batter is smooth.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the pumpkin batter, mixing until just blended. Be careful not to over mix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed, being careful not to over mix.
- Drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake on the middle rack for about 15–18 minutes, or until the edges turn a slight golden brown and feel firm.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
Make sure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture. Do not over mix the dough to keep cookies soft. Feel free to add nuts for extra crunch.
