Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • pinch ground cloves
  • pinch ginger
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cup semi-sweet (or milk chocolate chips (plus more for topping the bars))

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan or line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk the ingredients together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the vanilla and pumpkin puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • Add the salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger and mix until incorporated. Add in the flour 1 cup at time, mixing in between additions.
  • Gently mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread the dough into the prepared pan. Add more chocolate chips on top if desired.
  • Bake cookie dough for 20-23 minutes. It will look soft and slightly underdone. It will set up as it cools. Press more chocolate chips on top where needed. Allow the cookie bars to cool completely then cut into bars.
