Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir in the pumpkin puree.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure your butter is truly softened for the best texture.
Do not overmix the dough after adding the flour. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
Pumpkin puree is not the same as pumpkin pie filling. Make sure you use 100% pure pumpkin puree.
For extra spice, you can add a pinch more of your favorite pumpkin pie spice.
