Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Extra chocolate chips for decoration (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray baking pans with no stick spray or line with parchment paper.
  • In a smaller mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
  • In your mixer bowl, cream the butter with the two sugars for about 2 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg, then add the canned pumpkin and vanilla and mix until well combined.
  • Add the flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix together on low speed until combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, (about 1.5 inches in diameter), drop the dough on to the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350 for 11-12 minutes, remove from the oven, then gently push a few extra chocolate chips in to the top of each cookie while you let them sit on the baking sheets to cool for 15-20 minutes. (The extra chocolate chips just make them look cute, so skip that step if you don’t feel like it.)
  • Transfer them to cooling racks to let fully cool, and serve!
