Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup canned 100% pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips (a few extra to stick in top of unbaked cookie balls)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans or roasted almonds), optional
  • Add extra calories if using nuts.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare cookie sheet by spraying well with cooking spray, lining with parchment paper or using silicone baking sheet.
  • Cream butter and granulated sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in egg, pumpkin and vanilla until well-blended.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves together in medium bowl and then add 1/3 at a time to creamed mixture, mixing after each addition.  This will keep the dry ingredients from going all over your mixing area.  If using a mixer,  blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients at a low speed.  Mix until just blended.
  • Add the chocolate chips and fold into the cookie mixture.  (You may also add a cup of chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds if desired.)
  • Drop cookies onto prepared cookie sheet with a large (3 tablespoon) cookie scoop.  Place 8 scoops of cookie dough well-spaced onto the cookie sheet. Push a couple of extra chocolate chips into the top of the unbaked cookies before baking.
  • Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until cookies are slightly brown. Let cookies cool for 1-2 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing them to a cooling rack.
  • Makes 32 large cookies. Serving size is 1 large cookie.
  • Add extra calories if using nuts.
