Equipment
- Whisk
- Oven
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch ground ginger
- Pinch ground cloves
- Pinch nutmeg
- Pinch allspice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small, microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter for 20 to 30 seconds until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice.
- In a medium bowl, combine cooled butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add egg yolk, vanilla, and pumpkin puree, and whisk until well-mixed.
- Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Place batter in the freezer while your oven preheats.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Once your oven is preheated and batter slightly chilled, drop rounded spoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheet. For prettier cookies, roll dough into balls and gently flatten dough balls to 1/2 inch on the baking sheet with the palm of your hand.
- Bake for 9 to 12 minutes until cookies look set and the bottoms are lightly browned.
- Press a couple extra chocolate chips into the top of each cookie if you want them to look extra cute. Cool on the cookie sheet and enjoy!
Notes
- Spice substitution: You can replace all the spices (not the salt) with 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice.
- Chilling option: Chilling time is totally optional, but I think the slightly chilled dough gives you a prettier cookie.
