- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until just combined. Add the egg and mix well.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
- You can substitute pumpkin pie spice for the individual spices listed. Use 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
- These cookies are best enjoyed the day they are made but store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- The texture will be soft and cake-like due to the pumpkin.
