🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup White chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

4. Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly underdone. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.

9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
