Chewy Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Starting by melting butter and sugars together until silky smooth, the dough blends in pumpkin puree, vanilla, and an egg yolk to create a rich base. Dry ingredients including flour, oats, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon are stirred in, followed by chilling for 15 minutes to help the dough hold shape during baking. The addition of white chocolate chips lends bursts of creamy sweetness contrasting the spiced pumpkin flavor.
Baked at 350°F for a short time, these cookies develop a lightly golden edge with a chewy center. The oats contribute chew and hold moisture well, enhancing the texture. They require cooling on the baking sheet for best results before serving.
