Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice to the same bowl. Stir gently until just combined. A few streaks of flour are okay.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Reserve a handful to press onto the scooped dough for a bakery-style look if desired.
  5. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes (optional but recommended for thicker cookies).
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden. Centers will still look soft.
  8. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender. Chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes helps prevent spreading. For best results, use room temperature egg. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
