These soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, made with pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and cream cheese, have a cake-like texture and lots of pumpkin flavor!
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 3 baking sheets with a silicone mat or silpat (or bake in batches).
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg; beat well. Mix in pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla.
In another bowl combine flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt and baking powder; gradually add to pumpkin mixture; mix well. Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls, 1 ounce each, 2 inches apart onto the silicone lined baking sheets.
Bake 14 to 15 minutes or until golden, rotating the baking sheets halfway.
