Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Begin by whisking together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a mixing bowl. These dry ingredients form the base for that signature autumn taste.
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Next, beat in the egg, followed by the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract. This is where the cookie’s buttery base meets creamy pumpkin goodness.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, doing your best not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes—it firms up and bakes beautifully.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, scoop rounded tablespoons of dough, and space them about two inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Enjoy these freshly baked cookies while they’re still warm and the chocolate chips are perfectly melted.
