Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 egg large, yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
For the Topping
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until well blended. Add in egg yolk, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until combined.
- To the mixing bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix just until combined. Fold in pecans and white chocolate chips.
- In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar with cinnamon for the topping. Set it aside.
- Using a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and drop it into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Coat just the top of the ball and place it on the cookie sheet, about 2-inches apart.
- Bake cookies for 11-13 minutes, until light browned around the edges. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes
- Using just an egg yolk creates a chewier cookie. Adding the whole egg will make a fluffier more cake-like cookie.
- Storage- cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze- Either freeze cookie dough or freeze cooled, baked cookies in a ziploc freezer bag for up to 3 months.
