Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer, cream the butter. brown sugar, and sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

Halfway through, throw in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and fold it in. Mix gently until everything comes together. Do not overmix.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes, preferably an hour.
Preheat oven to 350º F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Using a small scoop, scoop out cookie dough onto the cookie sheets. Press the dollops of cookie dough down to flatten and press down 2 - 3 chocolate chips into each flattened cookie dough.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Look for set edges. The cookies might look underdone in the middles, but they aren't!
Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes. Cool completely on a wire cooling rack before serving.
