Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup Pumpkin puree Make sure it’s not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter Melted and cooled
  • 1 cup Dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup White granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large Egg yolk Room temperature
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Place the pumpkin puree on a plate and press a paper towel against it about 4 times to absorb excess moisture.
  3. Using a mixer, beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on high speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla, and egg yolk. Mix on medium until combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on low speed, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes before scooping.
  2. Using a large cookie scoop, place 6 cookie dough balls on each cookie sheet and flatten each ball slightly with your hands.
  3. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. You can reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. For variations, try white chocolate, nuts, or dried cranberries. For a vegan version, use coconut oil and flaxseed meal instead of butter and egg yolk.
