How to Make Amazing Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and 2 large eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups white chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Frosting:** In a small bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over each cookie.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
