Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, and ½ cup of melted coconut oil or butter along with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Sift in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of sea salt. Mix gently.
  4. Fold in 2 cups of all-purpose flour until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, dollop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them out. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  7. Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
