Chewy White Chocolate Pumpkin Cookie Recipe

There are lots of recipes out there for chocolate chip pumpkin cookies that are soft and puffy. They are tasty, but I wanted something more like a traditional cookie.

I found a recipe for pumpkin cookies at Sally’s Baking Addiction that didn’t have eggs. Sally said it made them more chewy and less cakey. So I tweaked it and came up with these.

I love the sweetness of the white chocolate combined with the tang of the dried cranberries. It’s a perfect combination!

These pumpkin cookies have just the right amount of spice, and an amazing texture. They are slightly crisp on the edges, but soft and chewy in the middle. I can’t wait to try different flavor combinations!

How to make Chewy Pumpkin Cookies:

Cream together the butter and sugars, then add the pumpkin and vanilla. (There are no eggs in the recipe, that’s what makes the cookies less cake like.)

Whisk together your dry ingredients and stir in. Fold in the white chocolate, Craisins, and nuts.

You must chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or the cookies will spread too much.

Drop chilled dough by spoonfuls onto silpat or parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.
