Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅓ cup white chocolate chips
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips.
- Chill Dough: Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Form and Coat Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of chilled dough, roll into balls, and coat in cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake: Place dough balls on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Don’t skip chilling the dough—it helps prevent spreading and intensifies flavor.
- You can freeze the dough balls and bake straight from frozen with an extra minute or two of baking time.
