Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together. Set aside.
Add butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat until well mixed together and butter is lightened in colour, about 3 minutes. Add egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla and mix until combined.
Add dry ingredients and mix until they are almost combined. Add chocolate chips and mix until combined. The flour mixture should be all combined by this point as well.
Use a large cookie scoop to scoop up the cookie dough. Place scooped out cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten the tops of the cookie dough balls. Bake 1 baking tray at a time for 15-16 minutes in preheated oven.
Let cookies cool on their baking tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to fully cool to room temperature. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
