These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are a delightful autumn treat. The dough combines canned pumpkin with warm spices and semi-sweet chips, then bakes into soft, chewy cookies. A quick 12-15 minute bake yields a batch of irresistible goodies.

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir with a whisk until evenly distributed.

In a large mixing bowl, use a mixer or spoon to blend together the sugar, canned pumpkin, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.

Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture and beat until just combined, making sure no flour streaks remain.

Gently stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly dispersed throughout the dough.

Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden.

Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a minute, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
