Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
For Coating
  • 0.5 cup sugar for coating
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon for coating

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the pumpkin puree and eggs, stirring until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until fully blended.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the additional sugar and cinnamon for coating.
  8. Scoop out dough using a tablespoon and roll it into balls. Roll these balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  2. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh pumpkin for extra flavor. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes for thicker cookies. Don’t overbake and feel free to swap white chocolate chips for other types if desired. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
