ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
1 can (16 ounces) canned pumpkin (without spices)
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour (GF Option - use gluten-free flour blend + 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, unless flour blend already contains a thickening agent)
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Pumpkin White Chocolate Drop Cookies are the ultimate fall treat, combining the warm flavors of pumpkin with the sweetness of white chocolate. Not only are these cookies a delicious dessert, but they also cater to gluten-free diets, making them perfect for everyone to enjoy. To make the most out of your baking experience, ensure that you select high-quality ingredients, particularly when it comes to your pumpkin. Canned pumpkin puree works best, but make sure it's pure pumpkin without added spices or flavors. When considering gluten-free options, using a gluten-free flour blend alongside xanthan gum can mimic the texture of regular flour, ensuring your cookies come out soft and chewy. Additionally, the cream cheese frosting adds a rich and creamy topping that enhances the cookies' flavor profiles. You could also experiment with different toppings or mix-ins, such as nuts or dried fruits, to customize your cookies further. For storage, it's best to keep these cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. When stored correctly, they can last several days, making them an excellent option for meal prepping or as a treat for guests. No matter the occasion, these Pumpkin White Chocolate Drop Cookies are sure to impress! Whether for a backyard barbecue, a holiday gathering, or just a snack for yourself, they bring warmth and joy to every bite.
