Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup (67g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop 10-12 dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and egg yolk for best texture. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies soft. If dough is too sticky, chill for 15 minutes before baking. Cookies look slightly underbaked when done but will firm up as they cool. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
