How to Make - Step By Step Directions
So, the twist with this recipe is the addition of white chocolate to the cookies. Now you have pumpkin and chocolate, so there's no turning back!
Pure delight in every bite!
Step 1 - Preheat
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Now, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a Silpat baking mat (our fav) and set it aside.
Step 2 - Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine your dry ingredients - the flour through salt.
Here is a DIY recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice.
Step 3- Mix Wet Ingredients
Next, in a stand mixer or large mixing bowl and handheld mixer, beat butter until fluffy for about 30 seconds. Now, add granulated and brown sugar and beat until combined. Don't forget to scrape down the edges to get a good mix!
Now, add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
Next, beat in the pumpkin puree and vanilla.
Step 4 - Combine Ingredients
Finally, beat in flour mixture and white chocolate chips.
Your pumpkin cookie batter is ready!
Step 5 - Place on Baking Sheet and Bake
Place approximately 2 tablespoons of dough on the prepared baking pan (we like to use a cookie scoop) about 2 inches apart.
Now, bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Your kitchen will smell ahhhmazing - like baking heaven - and you'll want to bite into these warm goodies as soon as they come out of the oven!
Cool on the baking pan for about 2 minutes, and then transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack.

Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, in your cookies.
- One of the best ways for your cookies to turn out perfect every time, with golden brown edges and soft middles, is a Silpat Baking Mat. We won't bake cookies on anything else.
How to Store Pumpkin Cookies
- To store, layer your cookies between waxed paper and place them in an airtight container. They last about 3 days at room temperature.
- To freeze, cool completely and place in an airtight, freezer-safe container for about 3 months. Follow our tips for preventing freezer burn, and they'll be fresh and delicious when you take them out of the freezer.
Kitchen Supplies Needed
Mixing Bowls - Non-skid bottoms make baking and mixing easy for these kitchen staples.
Stand Mixer - I love my KitchenAid!!! I've used it for more than 18 years, and it's still going strong 🙂
Cookie Scoop - Perfectly proportioned cookies every time! Easy to use too!
Silpat Baking Mat - Turn ANY pan into a non-stick surface and save time cleaning up! Use Silpat® instead for any baking recipe (sweet or savory) that calls for parchment paper.

Sam says
My very first batch just came out of the oven and I have to say it smells like fall in my house. These cookies are exactly what you need with coffee. The only thing I changed was that I used milk chocolate morsels as I didn't have white chocolate. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly as written. Highly recommended.
