Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin butter, 1 large egg, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp ginger.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and golden. The centers will look slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature for smoother mixing.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookies tender.’, ‘Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if it feels too sticky.’, ‘Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of the cookies right after baking for added flavor.’]
