These cookies feature a moist pumpkin base enhanced with chocolate chips and a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and makes approximately 24 cookies.

Ingredients

1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
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 salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
