Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
2 Baking Sheet
Cookie Portion Scoop (optional)

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter 113 grams, melted (1 stick)
¾ cup brown sugar 160 grams
¼ cup pumpkin puree 57 grams
1 large egg 50 grams
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams
1½ cups all-purpose flour 180 grams
1 teaspoon baking soda 6 grams
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ cup chocolate chips 85 grams

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until smooth.
½ cup unsalted butter, ¾ cup brown sugar
Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla and whisk to combine.
¼ cup pumpkin puree, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add the flour, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice and mix them in gently-- just until no large lumps of flour remain.
1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
½ cup chocolate chips
Transfer the dough to the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Once the dough has chilled, scoop 2-tablespoon-sized balls onto the baking sheets, making sure to place them at least 2 inches apart-- these cookies will spread!
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cookies are set around the edges and golden brown on the bottom.
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan-- they will set as they cool.

Notes

Don't over mix the cookie dough. The flour should be just combined. Over mixing can overdevelop the gluten leading to dense cookies.
Don't skip chilling the dough. If you don't chill it the dough will spread all over the cookie sheet when you bake the cookies.
Let the pumpkin cookies fully cool before enjoying or storing. They will set as they cool.

Storage: Store chocolate chip pumpkin cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
