Description
Warm, cozy, and bursting with autumn flavors, these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and perfectly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¾ cup (180g) 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 large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream together unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky to prevent spreading during baking. Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
