  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugars, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
  4. Form dough: Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture to form a soft dough. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
  5. Chill dough: Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes for easier handling.
  6. Bake: Scoop dough onto baking sheet, flatten, and bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set.
  7. Cool: Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Blotting the pumpkin puree with paper towels removes excess moisture for chewy cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
