Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup Brown sugar packed
  • 1 Egg large
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
Mix-ins
  • 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  5. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
  6. For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to prevent spreading.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, but the centers still look soft.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake these cookies, as they will continue to set as they cool, ensuring a perfectly chewy texture.
