Makes about 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1½ tsp baking powder
1½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup canned pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup vegetable or canola oil
1 large egg
1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, sugars, oil, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and mix until just incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Place the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
Drop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets (about 1-1 ½ tablespoons per cookie) about 2-inches apart. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until light brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the pans for 3 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
