🍴 Recipe Tips
If you want to let the white chocolate pumpkin cookies dough chill longer than 2 hours, you can allow it to chill up to 2 days in advance. I find that the flavors are even a little better when they have longer to meld together.
Making the cookie dough at night and then chilling them overnight is a great way to wake up and bake warm cookies to snack on all day!
💭 FAQs
These cookies are good for 3-5 days at room temperature if kept stored in an airtight container. Any longer than that and they may become staler. Cookies are best enjoyed fresh.
Yes, these cookies freeze very well. I recommend either flash-freezing them on a cookie sheet for an hour or laying them in an airtight container with wax paper between layers to prevent sticking. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Absolutely! Homemade pumpkin puree or storebought, either one is great with these easy cookies. Just make sure that you don't accidentally grab a can of pumpkin pie filling as that is something else entirely and won't work right with this cookie recipe.
