Ingredients
  

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

          Mix Dry with Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop and Shape: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread slightly.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set but still soft.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your delightful Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies!
