Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined

Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until smooth

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined

If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks and chopped nuts

Place additional granulated sugar in a small bowl

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough into the sugar and roll to coat

Place the coated cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart

Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a fork or the palm of your hand

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
