# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin purée, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined to avoid overmixing.
05 - Gently fold in chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips, if using.
06 - Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Flatten tops slightly.
07 - Bake for 25 minutes or until the logs are set and lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
08 - Lower oven temperature to 300°F.
09 - Using a serrated knife, slice logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick dippers. Arrange slices cut side down on the baking sheet.
10 - Bake for 10 minutes, flip each piece, then bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp and golden.
11 - Transfer dippers to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before serving or storing.
