Supplies

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Electric mixer (optional)
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Cooling rack
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree, mixing until combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly golden. The centers may appear soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these delicious, soft pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or a tall glass of milk — the perfect fall treat!
