Instructions
1
Start by preparing your cookie dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, bread flour, cornflour, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir gently to combine, then add in the chocolate chips, tossing to coat them lightly with the flour mixture. Set this mixture aside.
2
In another bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and caster sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
4
Incorporate the pumpkin puree into the mixture, blending well. Note that the mixture may appear slightly separated, which is normal.
5
Gradually fold in the flour and chocolate mixture using a low speed setting, mixing until a soft dough forms. This should take about 30 seconds.
6
Transfer the cookie dough to a medium-sized bowl, cover it tightly with cling film, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
7
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 2-3 baking trays with parchment paper.
8
Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the dough, placing the balls approximately 2 inches apart on the baking trays. Gently press each ball down to flatten them slightly.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies are risen, puffy, and lightly golden around the edges while still soft in the center.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for at least 30 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11
Store the completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
