Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Stir in the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, make sure not to overbake. The centers should still look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- You can add a pinch of allspice for extra warmth and flavor.
