Preheat the oven to 350°F and line your baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Add the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin puree to the sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed. Blend until just combined, scraping down the sides as needed (the batter will be a bit wet).
Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the cookies are just set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in a single layer in an airtight container. They get even softer and more delicious after resting for a few hours.
