Baking The White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies
- To begin, you’ll need all of the ingredients needed for these cookies. We’ve included a list above for your convenience. Make sure to have all of the ingredients ready before beginning so that everything can come together quickly and easily.
- Next, it’s time to prepare the mixing bowl and preheat the oven. We recommend warming up the oven before baking so that the cookies will cook evenly and without any problems. Once both are ready, it’s time to combine all of the ingredients together and get baking!
- Once you’ve mixed everything together nicely, it’s time to form the cookies into desired shapes. We recommend dropping them by spoonfuls onto an baking sheet so that they can bake more evenly. Be sure to bake them for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown in color and center is set (if using a digital timer). Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving up with your favorite topping (in our case, white chocolate chips). Enjoy!
Tips For Perfect Results
Making delicious, warm cookies is a skill that many people learn as children. But with the right tips and ingredients, it can be easy to make perfect cookies every time. In this section, we will outline the steps that you need to take to make perfect cookies every time.
- First and foremost, we recommend using oats in place of some of the all purpose flour. This substitution will result in a softer cookie that is more digestible. Additionally, using high quality white chocolate will provide deeper flavor and smoother texture. Finally, it is important to melt the butter before adding it to the dough so that it spreads easily and provides maximum flavor. This step is especially important when using almond extract as its flavors can be quite strong.
- Next, it is important to chill the cookie dough before baking for optimal thickness and shape. Cookies that are cold throughout will be thicker and have more consistent shapes, while cookies that are too warm will become spread out or irregular in shape. Chill the dough for at least two hours before baking for best results.
- Lastly, use a large ice cream scoop for even cookie shapes when baking – this will help ensure even cooking throughout the entire batch and prevent burnt or over-cooked cookies on any one batch of cookies. When baking one sheet at a time in your oven (rather than transferring them all at once), this also helps promote even cooking and prevents overcrowding which can lead to uneven browning on your Cookies (yum!). Allow Cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring them either directly onto a cooling rack or serving them up!
