Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 5 Tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp all spice
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp espresso powder, optional
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Cream butter until light and fluffy, about a minute.
  • Next, add in sugars and cream until combined.
  • Add in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice, cloves, and espresso powder.
  • Mix with wet ingredients.
  • Once combined, add in chips. Stir.
  • Allow the dough to chill for at least 30 minutes in the fridge (or freeze cookie sheet of made dough balls for 5 minutes before baking).
  • Roll dough into symmetrical balls, about 1 1/2 Tbsp to 2 Tbsp in size. Place evenly on a cookie sheet, and press down on the tops of the dough balls slightly. This will help them to spread in the oven.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. I prefer these cookies to come out when they are just turning golden brown. Though they may appear slightly underdone, as the cookies cool on the cookie sheet, they bake/cool to the perfect consistency!
  • Enjoy!
