- 1 cup softened butter 2 sticks
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup pure pumpkin purée canned is fine!
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups chocolate chips I like semi-sweet best!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Start by creaming together the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a stand mixer, hand mixer, or large mixing bowl and whisk for this.
Add the egg, vanilla extract and pumpkin purée. Mix to combine.
Sprinkle in the flour, all the spices and baking powder. Using a rubber spatula, fold everything together until there is no visible flour remaining.
Pour the chocolate chips into the batter and mix one more time.
Grease a 9x13 baking pan with butter or cooking spray, then pour in the batter.
Using your spatula, spread out the batter in an even layer to fit the pan. You can tap the pan on the counter a few times to try to level everything and pop any air bubbles. At this point, feel free to add extra chocolate chips to the surface for a pretty top once baked.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until your kitchen smells like heaven and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
EXPERT TIP: if you want to cut these into squares right out of the oven, use a plastic knife to get clean edges with little to no crumbs!
