These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are a delightful autumn treat. The dough is flavored with pumpkin pie spice and studded with semisweet chocolate chips, then chilled before baking for the perfect texture. Bake until golden around the edges for a soft, irresistible cookie.

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and kosher salt. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.

In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to cream the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips. Cover the dough and refrigerate until it is cold, about 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on two parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies until they are puffed up and the edges are golden, approximately 12 minutes.
