Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers still look soft. Don’t overbake.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky.’, ‘Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.’, ‘Measure ingredients accurately for best results.’, ‘Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and tender.’, ‘Watch your oven during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overbaking.’]
