That said, these are not cookies but they're still so yummy! I used my pumpkin cupcake recipe, added a few white chocolate chips, and topped with a delicious (and not too sweet) white chocolate buttercream frosting. Even my husband who never eats all of his frosting thought this frosting was yum!

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree, not pie filling
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
½ cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
White Chocolate buttercream frosting (see below)
1. Preheat oven to 350˚. Line muffin tin with cupcake liners (12).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. In a larger bowl or mixer, combine the eggs, pumpkin, granulated sugar,brown sugar, and vegetable oil and whisk together. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combine.
3. Fold the white chocolate chips into the batter.
4. Divide the batter into the cupcake liners. Fill about 2/3 full.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cupcake springs back to the touch. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
6. Using a piping bag and a tip (I use Wilton 1M Star tip),frost the tops of the cupcakes with white chocolate frosting. Top with chopped pecans and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
