White Chocolate Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies {Secret Recipe Club}

Ingredients

• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 1/2 cups quick oats
• 1 cup white chocolate chips, plus more for garnish, if desired

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment or in large bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the pumpkin, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour through cloves. Slowly add the mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Stir in the oats and 1 cup of white chocolate chips until combined.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
4. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon scoop, drop the dough onto the baking sheets, placing each scoop one inch apart. Slightly flatten each with your fingers. Bake for about 10-13 minutes, until the edges and bottom are just golden. Remove to a cooling rack. Press in a couple extra white chocolate chips while the cookies are still hot, if desired.
5. Let cool completely and store in an airtight container.
