Ingredients

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  • Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the Dough: Using a scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a little underdone, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy: Serve your pumpkin chocolate chip cookies warm, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
