Servings: 2Dozen (or more depending on cookie size)
Ingredients
2cups all purpose flour
3/4 cupbrown sugar
1/4cupwhite sugar
2tspbaking powder
1tspbaking soda
1/2tspsalt
2tspcinnamon*see notes if wanting to use pumpkin spice
1/2tspground ginger*see notes if wanting to use pumpkin spice
1/4tspground nutmeg*see notes if wanting to use pumpkin spice
1egg
1cupcanned pumpkin
1/2cupcanola or vegetable oil
1 1/2tspvanilla extract
1cupsemi-sweet or milk chocolate chips*you can add more if desired
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350° Grease or line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl add the dry ingredients. Add your flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger and ground nutmeg. (See notes about using pumpkin spice in place of the spices listed above). Mix the dry ingredients together.
In a separate mixing bowl add your wet ingredients. Add your egg, oil, canned pumpkin and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. When you start mixing the dough it will seem dry but keep stirring, it will mix in!
Add your chocolate chips and mix well.
Using a tablespoon, scoop cookie dough into a heaping tablespoon and drop on your baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced out. *If you want smaller cookies, scoop a heaping tablespoon for each cookie. You will end up with about 3 dozen smaller cookies. If you want larger cookies, using a really large heaping tablespoon scoop (it will be more than a 2 tablespoon large scoop). You will end up with about 2 dozen larger cookies if your cookies are scooped larger.**I just drop the cookie dough on the baking sheet, this makes more textured cookies (see photos). If you want a smooth round cookie, roll the cookie dough in your hands into a perfect cookie dough ball so it bakes more smooth and round.
Bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes. Smaller cookies will bake about 10 minutes, larger cookies will need 12 minutes.
Take the cookies out of the oven once they are done and enjoy!
Notes
You can add 1 tsp pumpkin spice in place of the ground nutmeg and ground ginger, but reduce the cinnamon to 1 tsp because there is cinnamon in the pumpkin spice!
