Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • A pinch of ground cloves (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract into the wet mixture.
  5. Beat in the room-temperature egg until fully combined.
  6. Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  7. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  8. Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet, smoothing the top.
  9. Bake on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden and set, and the center is soft but not raw.
  10. Cool the cookie for about 5 minutes, then serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs to prevent butter from seizing. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookie tender. If cookie is too doughy after baking, add 2-3 more minutes but watch closely. For crisper edges, place skillet closer to the top rack for last 3-4 minutes. Butter or non-stick spray the skillet well to prevent sticking. Variations include gluten-free flour, adding nuts, or using coconut oil for dairy-free.
