Equipment

Ingredients

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (1 3/4 cup)
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup +2 tbsp canola oil OR vegetable oil
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup cake flour
2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and set aside.
In a large bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer), add the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mix until combined, about 30 seconds.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour mixture, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. With mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
Using a large spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Using a standard-size cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes or until they are firm and start to turn brown on the edges.
Remove and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Do not store until cookies have cooled for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Notes

To STORE Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, FREEZE the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

To REHEAT, thaw at room temperature, then warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.
