Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons (1oz) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon *
  • Pinch of ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Pinch of allspice
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon (25g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup (1.5oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips plus more for topping if desired

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter for 20 to 30 seconds until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice.
  3. 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.*
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  5. Once your oven is preheated and batter slightly chilled, drop 5 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. 
  6. 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

  • *You can replace all the spices (not the salt) with 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice.
  • *Chilling time is totally optional, but I think the slightly chilled dough gives you a prettier cookie.
