Ingredients
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. Set aside for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt. Stir well and set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients one-third at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until a uniform batter forms.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed without over-mixing the batter.
- Shape Cookies: Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 11 minutes until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Using canned pumpkin puree ensures consistency in moisture and flavor.
- For a crispier cookie, bake an additional 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Ensure not to overmix once the chocolate chips are added to keep the cookies tender.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
