Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp chai spice mix (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Together Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about three minutes.
- Add Egg and Pumpkin: Mix in the egg and pumpkin puree until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, chai spice mix, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
