Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the pumpkin puree and egg, mixing until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mix into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gently fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each dollop. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown, but centers remain soft.
  7. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack or plate. Let them cool slightly before enjoying.
