Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups (135g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup (75g) pure pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in rolled oats until evenly combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, followed by pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or two spoons to drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the tops for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Use room temperature butter and egg for better texture.’, ‘Replace old spices with fresh ones for optimal flavor.’, ‘Flatten the dough slightly before baking for even spreading.’, ‘Test bake a single cookie to adjust baking time if needed.’]
