Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until well combined and smooth.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are set and tops are slightly puffed but still soft in the center.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Check cookies at 8 minutes to avoid overbaking.
