Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or your non-stick silicone baking mat.

Using your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar for about 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and pumpkin and mix together for another minute or 2. Add the creamy peanut butter and mix until well combined.

In a separate medium to large sized mixing bowl, blend together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. While your stand mixer is on a slow speed, slowly pour the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl if needed. Add the chocolate chips and mix again until fully incorporated.

Using your medium sized cookie scoop, or a little larger than a tablespoon, drop cookie dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet and press down on each slightly to make the cookies flatter and bake for about 12 -14 minutes, or until set and the edges of the cookies are nice and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
