Soft and chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are the ultimate fall treat. Packed with warm spices and rich chocolate chips, they’re easy to make and perfect for holiday baking.
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer until light and fluffy (or stand mixer with paddle attachment).
Add the egg and vanillabeanpaste (or vanilla extract), mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, bakingpowder, bakingsoda, groundcinnamon, groundnutmeg, and koshersalt.
With the mixer on low, add half the dry ingredients, then all of the pumpkinpuree, then the remaining dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition. Fold in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets (or use a large hinged scoop), leaving 2 inches of space between cookies.
Bake 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are set, golden brown, and the centers spring back when touched.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
