Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies | A Nerd Cooks

These are some of my favorite cookies. I usually make at least several batches during the course of the Fall and Winter. Aaaaaand one or two during the other times of the year. Let's be honest.

If you've spent any amount of time poking around on A Nerd Cooks, you'll be well aware that my love of pumpkin does not recognize the change of the seasons.

Pumpkin and chocolate are meant for one another. Don't let anyone else tell you any different. Need more proof? Do yourself a favor and check out these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies, and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins!

Ingredients

1 cup pumpin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable or canola oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips plus more for decorating the cookies

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin, sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Little by little, add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until the flour has just disappeared.
Add the chocolate chips and stir to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop, drop cookie dough by the tablespoonful onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned and firm.
Allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
