Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them two inches apart. Roll each scoop into balls and coat in powdered sugar.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Allow cooling on sheets before transferring to wire racks.
