Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture until combined.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until cookies look set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

If cookies spread too much, chill dough for 15-20 minutes before baking. Use gluten-free flour for gluten-free version. Swap butter for coconut oil and egg for flax egg for vegan version. Toast spices lightly for enhanced aroma. Store cookies in airtight container with a slice of bread to keep moist longer.
