Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 205kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 cup solid-pack pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat mat, and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the sugars, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add the egg, mixing until just combined.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. With the mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until no flour pockets remain. Remove the bowl from the stand and fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared sheets and place in the oven to bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are firm and light brown in color. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the sheets for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*I used 1½ cups regular chocolate chips and ½ cup mini chips. Since most people don’t have mini chips on hand, the recipe is written with 2 cups of regular chocolate chips instead.
Once the cookies have cooled completely, STORE them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
If you want to keep them longer, FREEZE them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container or bag, separating layers with parchment paper. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 months. To enjoy from frozen, let them thaw at room temperature or warm them briefly in the microwave for that soft, fresh-baked feel.
