Pumpkin Spice Blondies

Cooking spray
1/2 c. pumpkin purée
3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 3/4 c. chocolate chips, divided

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9”-x-13” baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, butter, and brown sugar, then beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
    
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin spice, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined, then fold in 1 ½ cup chocolate chips.
    
Spread dough in prepared pan, then sprinkle with ½ cup remaining chocolate chips. Bake until topping looks set but a some moist crumbs stick to toothpick when testing for doneness, about 25 minutes. Cool completely before slicing into bars.
