Ingredients

  • cups pumpkin puree
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Measure pumpkin puree, then place in a paper towel lined bowl. This will reduce the moisture in the pumpkin. Let the pumpkin sit for 20 minutes before using.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt and mix well. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the room temperature butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together using the paddle attachment until it is light and fluffy, or about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks and pumpkin puree, then mix to combine.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until the cookie dough is combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips last.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop or a spoon to scoop and roll all of the dough into 1" - 1¼" dough balls. Place about 2" apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing instructions: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature, or up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
Make-ahead tips: to freeze the cookie dough, scoop the dough as directed, then place onto a baking tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes.  Transfer to freezer bags and store for up to 3 months.  To bake, just pull the cookies out onto a parchment or baking mat lined baking sheet and preheat your oven for at least 30 minutes.  Bake as directed, adding an extra minute or two to the total time.
