Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper, then lightly coat with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together dark brown sugar, butter, and granulated sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes).
Mix in the egg, then add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined and no dry patches remain.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Press the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Lightly moisten hands to spread if needed.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
