  4. Beat in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 1/2 cups (180g) chocolate chips and 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or raisins (optional).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
