Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree, and mix until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite fall beverage!
Notes
Tips and Variations

- Extra Spice: If you love spices, add a bit more cinnamon or nutmeg to taste.
