Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes, using an electric mixer.
Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
