The perfect white chocolate chip pumpkin cookie recipe for fall! Chewy, soft, and thick with the perfect pumpkin flavor!
I am sad to see summer go, but I am super-happy to welcome fall baking a.k.a pumpkin baking. Have you had any pumpkin treats so far this year? I mean, it’s only the 5th of September, but it’s after Labor Day.
It’s kind of strange having my house smell like pumpkin and pumpkin pie when it’s 90 degrees outside! Before Labor Day we had pretty mild weather here, fall weather really. Now.. it’s full-blown summer weather – so strange.
How’s the weather where you are at?
Back to these amazing pumpkin cookies. It took me a couple of tries to really nail these cookies because I wanted them to really taste like pumpkin with the flavors and spices. The first batch was okay and was miss some flavor. Now these are summed up by one word…AMAZING!
I can’t wait to make another batch and bring them up to my parents. They are going to love them and you will too, I promise.
As all of my cookies, you will need to allow these to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours; however, overnight really is best. If you only have 2 hours, then that’s completely fine!
If you haven’t already, you should really be following me on Facebook because I am sharing nothing but pumpkin recipes every hour. It’s amazing!
