Ingredients

Scale

1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 c. light brown sugar, packed

1 large egg, at room temperature

3 tsp. vanilla

3/4 c. canned pumpkin puree

22/3 c. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. salt (table, kosher or sea)

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

11/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

3/4 tsp. ground ginger

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp. ground allspice

11/2 c. white chocolate chips

11/2 c. pecans, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper.  Set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking powder and soda, and spices.  Set aside.

Using a standing or hand-held mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until fluffy.   Add the pumpkin puree and blend completely.  Stir in dry ingredients until just combined.  Use a spatula to stir in the white chocolate chips and pecans.   Use a #24 or #30 ice cream scoop (2-3 T.) to portion out dough, 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.  Bake for 15-17 minutes or until edges are browned slightly on the edges.  Centers will be slightly soft.  Remove cookies to wire racks to cool.  Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.  Dough can be frozen as well.
