Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Start by squeezing out the excess moisture from your pumpkin puree using paper towels; set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Beat for about 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Add vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and egg yolk to the bowl and mix until well incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice until just combined.
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop 2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills.
  8. Bake for 9-12 minutes until the edges are lightly browned but the centers still look soft.
  9. Allow to cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
