White Chocolate Pumpkin Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
As soon as the leaves start to turn and the aroma of pumpkin spice fills the air, I start craving these cookies. They are ooey-gooey, chewy, and have the perfect balance of sweetness and nuttiness. Let’s dive into the recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well incorporated.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the oats, white chocolate chips, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone, but they will continue to set as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies are the perfect sweet treat to celebrate the fall season. Enjoy the comforting blend of spices, the creamy white chocolate, and the satisfying crunch of pecans in every bite.
