  1. 1

    Preheat and Prepare

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.

    In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend together granulated sugar, brown sugar and melted butter until combined.

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Mix in egg and vanilla then blend in pumpkin puree.

  5. 5

    Combine Flour and Wet Mixtures

    With mixer on low speed, slowly add in flour mixture and mix just until nearly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed (batter will be pretty wet).

  6. 6

    Fold in Chocolate Chips

    With a rubber spatula, fold in chocolate chips while folding batter to evenly combined.
