Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or neutral oil
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or mix of nutmeg, ginger, cloves)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies a couple inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are soft.
  7. Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • Try white or dark chocolate chips for variation.
  • Top with flaky sea salt before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
  • No need to chill the dough — these bake up soft straight from mixing.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temp or freeze for later.
