Preheat the oven to 350°F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with hand mixer and large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. About 3-4 minutes.
Now add the egg, and vanilla extract. Beat together until smooth.
Then beat in the pumpkin puree.
Add the dry ingredients: baking soda, cinnamon, salt and all purpose flour. Mix just until the flour is all incorporated.
Fold in chocolate chips. The cookie dough is a bit sticky, so don't be alarmed.
Scoop the dough with a medium cookie scoop or 2 level tablespoons and place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake cookies in preheated oven on center rack for 10-12 minutes and no longer glossy looking.
Let cookies cool on pan for 5 minutes then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
