Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 ¼ cups pumpkin spice baking morsels (such as Nestle® Toll House®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl until creamy, using a rubber spatula. Add egg and stir until well blended.

Step 3

Combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda in another bowl. Add to the sugar mixture a little bit at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts until well combined.

Step 4

Fold pumpkin chips into the dough. Line up teaspoon-sized scoops of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet. If desired, press in a few more pumpkin chips so they're more visible after baking.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until soft and chewy with golden edges, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
