Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Mix sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat together until well combined.
  3. Add pumpkin & egg: Stir in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  5. Mix dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Chill the dough: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
  8. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Enjoy: Serve the cookies warm or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment!

Notes

  • For a variation, try adding nuts or using different types of chocolate chips.
  • Ensure you use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Gluten-free? Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
