Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by fionamaggie

"Adapted from King Arthur Flour. I love this recipe because the pumpkin flavor shines through. Feel free to substitute regular chocolate chips or raisins. And if you don't have pumpkin pie spice, just use your favorite combination of ginger, cloves, allspice and nutmeg."

These cookies are just o.k. I took an additional star off for the lack of directions at the end of the recipe. If you make these cookies be aware that they don't spread and come out of the oven looking the same as when they went in. I dropped by teaspoons full on the first sheet and ended up with some very small, unattractive cookies. After that I did tablespoons full and tried to smooth them out a bit and they looked a bit better. Also watch the baking time. I baked the larger cookies at 350 for 15 minutes. There are better recipes for pumpkin cookies available so I won't be making these again.

These are really good. However, the first 2 dozen that came out were really brown on the bottom. After that I put them in for 10 mins and that seemed like long enough. I am putting them on a holiday platter for something other than the traditional chocolate!

These cookies are wonderful! Great flavor and actually, lighter than what we expected. I added a cup of pecans. These are going to go into my cookbook as a favorite!
