Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies

0 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
1 In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, egg yolk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
2 Mix in the pumpkin puree and cinnamon until well combined. The pumpkin adds moisture and that delicious fall flavor.
3 In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
4 Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don't overmix; just mix until no streaks of flour remain.
5 Gently fold in the white chocolate chips. They'll add a delightful sweetness and creaminess to each bite.
6 Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form cookie dough balls about 1-2 tablespoons in size. Place them on the prepared baking sheet with some space in between.
7 Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The centers will seem slightly undercooked, but they'll firm up as they cool, giving you that perfect soft and chewy texture.
