Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Add-ins
- 1 (11.5 oz) bag chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat for easy cookie removal and cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt. Set this mixture aside.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in three portions, mixing well after each addition to form a smooth batter.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring even distribution without over mixing to avoid tough cookies.
- Shape Cookies: Drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: Once fully cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Using canned pumpkin puree ensures a consistent texture and flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
- Do not overmix after adding chocolate chips to maintain tender cookies.
- If you prefer softer cookies, reduce baking time by one minute.
- Store cookies at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
