How to Make Macadamia Nut White Chip Pumpkin Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and the nutmeg/ginger mixture.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup white chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts.
  8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or a glass dipped in sugar.
  10. Bake for 11-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
