1

Preheat the oven to 190°C/ 170 °C fan/ gas mark 5. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the plain flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.

In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and smooth, about three minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin puree until combined. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2.5cm (1in) between the cookies.

Bake for ten to twelve minutes, or until the cookies are firm and spring back when touched, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
