Growing up, the only pumpkin cookies I ever tasted were thick and cakey.  I wondered if there could be a better way? Was it possible to create a soft and chewy pumpkin cookie rather than a cakey one? I am here to tell you…YES! This is a perfectly CHEWY pumpkin cookie.

I was ecstatic when I first tasted a batch of my chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I literally made them three times within one week because we were devouring them so quickly!

Since pumpkin pairs so well with white chocolate, I knew that I needed to make a pumpkin white chocolate cookie recipe.  This is such a simple recipe because the dough is made in one saucepan! You don’t even need to bring out the hand mixer, the KitchenAid, or the Bosch mixer. This is as easy as it gets.

What makes these Pumpkin White Chocolate Cookies so special? It all starts with melting the butter in a saucepan which invokes a richer toffee flavor. A touch of oatmeal also helps to create a chewy pumpkin cookie. A reason why pumpkin cookies turn out cakey is excess flour this recipe doesn’t call for as much flour as cakey pumpkin cookies.

How to make Chewy Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  1. Melt butter slowly in a saucepan.  This isn’t a fully browned butter cookie so you are looking for the butter to melt and start to bubble. Remove from heat and add brown sugar and sugar.  Stir for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is glossy smooth. This is an important step to remove all graininess from the sugars and make sure it is smooth as silk.
  2. Let mixture cool for at least 5-10 minutes before adding egg yolk and vanilla. The extra vanilla helps to mellow out the pumpkin flavor.
  3. Stir in the remaining ingredients, except for the white chocolate chips. It may still be a tad too warm to add the white chocolate.  Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in white chocolate chips. My favorite brands are Guittard and Ghirardelli.
  5. Bake until edges start to get barely golden brown.  Let the cookies set up on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before removing cookies.

    I wanted to bake some cookies for a friend whose husband just lost his job. Love the “cakey” pumpkin cookies but decided to give these a try! They were a hit with my friend, her husband, and my family who are not big fans of cookies that aren’t chocolate chip. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Would it be okay to freeze the dough overnight and bake the next day? I cannot wait to try these!

    I’ve made these 4 times in the past month for different events. Perfect for fall time, and so easy to make. Basically fool proof. Everyone gave fabulous reviews, including my sister who had them 5 days old!
    A fun break from the traditional cookie 🙂

    These were fantastic!! I used old fashion oats. I’ve made them twice now in two days. The second time, I made a double batch. Everybody loved these cookies and they are by far a favorite of mine too! Thanks for the recipe!

      When you made these, after you mixed in the flour and oats, was the dough a lot thinner than a regular cookie dough? I make cookies all the time and I’ve never had a dough this loose. Cookie dough is normally much firmer.

        I had this same problem. The dough was so thin and made the cookies come out like moist, crumbly cakes. I learned it was from melting the butter as the recipe says to do. Instead, cream the sugar with room temperature butter. This way, the texture of the dough is more cookie-like and way less cake-like

    Could I omit the oats? Replace with equal amount of flour? Does the author reply to our questions?!

    I love this recipe!
    I haven’t tried any other pumpkin cookie recipes but I doubt that I will. This is a very soft cookie with a mellow pumpkin flavor. I also put a LOT of white chocolate chips just in case I wasn’t crazy about the flavor and I was worried that it would be overkill but it wasn’t. I can hardly taste the white chocolate chips and my husband said the same. I doubled this recipe and it made me 65 cookies that were 2 Tbsp. I can’t wait to share them at work!

    I found these to not be as chewy as I expected them to be. They turned out rather cakey still. I’m wondering what I did wrong as I followed the directions perfectly.

    The flavor of these cookies is spot-on! However, the cookies turned out cake-like. They are not thick and dense, but they fall apart like a moist, crumbly cake. I wish they had more of a cookie texture, though. Could creaming together room-temp butter (instead of hot, melted) with the sugars help give it a little crunch for the outside?

      UPDATE: Creaming room-temperature butter with the sugar made a huge difference! The dough was more like cookie dough and less like cake batter when I did this.
