Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
