Preheat oven to 350°. Line 9-by-9-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on ends. Prepare cheesecake layer.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in 1 egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin puree . Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
