Start by heating your oven to 375°F and lining the cookie sheets with parchment or greasing them.

In a large bowl, blend together the pumpkin puree, egg, both sugars, canola oil, vanilla, and cinnamon until thoroughly mixed.

In another bowl, whisk together the salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Gradually add this dry mix to the pumpkin mixture, mixing until just incorporated.

Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed in the dough.

Using a scoop or spoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared sheets, leaving space between each to allow spreading.

Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden color.

After baking, take them off the tray and let them cool on a wire rack.

Savor these scrumptious cookies, a perfect treat for chilly days or festive gatherings!
