Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp cloves (optional)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with both sugars until smooth.
  • Add pumpkin, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  • In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
  • Chill dough in refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop dough onto sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
