Ingredients

• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
3. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies should look soft but set in the middle.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
