Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Add butter, white sugar, and brown sugar to a bowl with an electric mixer. Beat on high until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Add the pumpkin puree, pudding mix, and egg, and beat until well combined.

Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough in approximately 2 tablespoon-sized dough balls onto parchment paper.

Bake in preheated oven for 11-12 minutes. The edges will be set and the middle will still be slightly soft.

Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Store cookies in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
