Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Baking

  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or frozen for up to 3 months. For a lighter version, use alternatives like applesauce or oat flour.
