# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin purée, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and thoroughly incorporated.
04 - Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
05 - Gently fold in pecans or walnuts and mini chocolate chips, if desired.
06 - Divide dough in half. Shape each piece into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Lightly flatten the tops.
07 - Bake logs for 25 minutes, or until set and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
08 - Lower oven temperature to 300°F.
09 - With a serrated knife, slice logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick dippers. Arrange pieces cut side down on the baking sheet.
10 - Bake slices for 10 minutes. Flip each piece, then bake for an additional 10–12 minutes until crisp and golden.
11 - Transfer finished dippers to a wire rack and allow them to cool fully before serving or storing.
