Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1½ cups white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar together for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in egg and vanilla extract until combined, then add pumpkin puree and beat until smooth.
  5. Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until no dry patches remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in white chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
  7. Shape and Bake: Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
  8. Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough; this keeps the cookies soft and tender.
  • These cookies are cake-like and moist — perfect for pumpkin lovers.
  • Add more cinnamon or a dash of cloves for extra warmth.
  • Try drizzling with melted white chocolate for a festive touch.
