White Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies

These pumpkin cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with fall flavors. The combination of pumpkin puree, warm spices, and sweet white chocolate creates a perfect balance, while the added crunch of nuts and seeds gives each bite a delightful texture. These cookies are a cozy treat for autumn, perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients (for 18 cookies):

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup pumpkin puree
• ½ cup coconut sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup white chocolate chips
• ¼ cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts)
• 2 tbsp mixed seeds (e.g., pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and coconut sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and mixed seeds.
5. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 min. or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few min. before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
