Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
