I have a secret weakness for pumpkin cookies. Especially when they’re soft and contain white chocolate chips. My oldest sister was the first one to introduce these to me and I’ve been hooked ever since.
During Christmas, they’re the cookie that everyone fights over. So this year I decided I should start getting my fill of them early so as to avoid the sadness that comes along with going over to the cookie table only to find the last pumpkin white chocolate chip cookie was eaten.
So far, it’s not working. Every pillow-y soft bite only has me craving more! If I turn a light shade of orange in the coming days…you’ll know why

They’re definitely an under-rated chocolate. They’re SO GOOD when combined with pumpkin! 🙂 And thank you! It was an outlet purchase!
