1️⃣ In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the blotted pumpkin, egg yolk, and vanilla; whisk again.

2️⃣ In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.

3️⃣ Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stir just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate.

4️⃣ Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) — this helps keep them chewy.

5️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment. Scoop dough into 1.5–2 tablespoon balls and place a couple inches apart.

6️⃣ Bake 10–12 minutes, until the edges look set but the centers are still slightly soft. Cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
