1/2 cup butter 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup white sugar 1 large egg yolk 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1 cup white chocolate chips (or chunks, or regular chocolate chips)
So usually in pumpkin cookies to soak up all the moisture we add lots of flour. We don’t want these cookies too cakey though, so to take away some of that moisture, we took most of the eggs out of these cookies, and only use one egg yolk. The pumpkin holds everything together nicely in these cookies, that you don’t even miss having more egg.
