Preheat the oven to Preheat the oven to (350°F) = (176°C) degrees.

Grease a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan, or use parchment paper to line your baking pan.

Use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add the egg and vanilla until thoroughly mixed.

Add the pumpkin puree and mix, which will have a curdled look. It's perfect.

Grab a bowl and whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly mixed and fluffy.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until smooth.

Fold in the chocolate chips gently

Spread the mixture evenly in your greased baking pan.

Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bars comes out clean.

Cool on a cooling rack and cut when completely cool. Enjoy. These are moist, and I think they will be a family favorite.
