Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spoon and level to measure flour)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240g) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt for 20 seconds, set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend together granulated sugar, brown sugar and vegetable oil until combined.
  • Mix in egg and vanilla then blend in pumpkin puree.
  • With mixer on low speed, slowly add in flour mixture and mix just until nearly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed (batter will be pretty wet).
  • With a rubber spatula, fold in chocolate chips while folding batter to evenly combined.
  • Drop dough 2 Tbsp (either using a medium cookie dough scoop or using two spoons) at a time onto baking sheets lined with Silcone liners or parchment paper, spacing cookies two inches apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cookies are nearly set about 11 - 13 minutes.
  • Allow to cool several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
  • Store in a single layer in an airtight container (these are best once they’ve rested in an airtight container a few hours, they soften throughout).

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin for consistent results.
  • Substitute 2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice for the spices listed here if that’s what you’ve got. Or feel free to increase spices listed, I usually like to add 2 tsp cinnamon now.
