Pumpkin Cookies are the only treat you need this fall! They're deliciously chewy, perfectly spiced, and dotted with gooey chocolate chips!

Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour ($0.27)
½ tsp baking powder ($0.04)
½ tsp baking soda ($0.01)
2 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice ($0.47*)
¼ tsp salt (+ a pinch for sprinkling if desired $0.01)
8 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted but not hot, $0.99)
1 cup brown sugar (packed, $0.82**)
1 tsp vanilla extract ($0.65)
¼ cup pumpkin puree (strained, $0.30***)
1 Tbsp hot water ($0.00)
1 egg ($0.31)
⅛ cup white chocolate chips ($0.30)
⅛ cup butterscotch chips ($0.38)
Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 375℉. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in medium size mixing bowl. Whisk together to mix thoroughly.
2 Cream together melted butter and brown sugar.
3 With the mixer running, add vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, hot water, and egg.**** (Read note.)
4 Add flour to the wet mixture little by little, mixing until just combined.
5 Incorporate
6 Be careful not to overmix the dough. Stop mixing once the flour is fully incorporated.
7 Scrape down mixing bowl and fold in white chocolate chips and butterscotch chips by hand.
8 Chill in fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes so it’s scoopable and not too soft.
9 Using a cookie scoop, scoop balls out onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Sprinkle each with a little salt if you like a salty sweet flavor. I like to push a couple extra chocolate chips on top too, so they look extra pretty when they come out of the oven.
10 Bake 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before handling. Enjoy!
