Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the wet ingredients, including the pumpkin, syrup and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, add the flour, spices, baking powder and salt and whisk well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scooper create 12 cookies (approximately 2 tablespoons of batter each) and place them 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes as desired.
Notes
This is a cakey cookie. If you don't like soft cookies, this is not the recipe for you.
