Equipment

Ingredients

  • 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!

Instructions

  • 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!
