Mix together the sugars and oil until it looks like wet sand. Add in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla and mix again.

Stir together the flour, spices, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture.

Add 3/4 cup chocolate chips to the batter gently. You can also add some chopped walnuts, if you like. Or change it up and use a mixture of different baking chips. I’ve done butterscotch and it’s delicious!

Use a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of cookie batter onto baking sheets. Use the back of the spoon or your finger to smooth the tops out slightly.

Press a few chocolate chips into the tops of the batter before baking. Bake for 10 minutes.

Let the cookies cool on the pan for two minutes before moving them to a wire rack or parchment paper to cool completely.

Store these easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies in a loosely sealed container. If you have any left that is. One bite of these soft pillowy cookies and they just might disappear before you can hide a few for later.
