Ingredients
  

1 cup 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

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Cream Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until everything is smoothly incorporated.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using, allowing them to distribute evenly in the cookie dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

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

                    Serve: Enjoy your Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Delight Cookies warm with a glass of milk or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container.
