Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 3/4 Cup Coconut Sugar Or brown sugar
  • 1 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 6 Tbsp Pumpkin Puree
  • 3/4 Cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/3 Cup White Chocolate Chips *Plus more for topping

Sugar Coating

Instructions
 

  • First, melt your butter in the microwave. Then, in a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and coconut sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract, applesauce, and pumpkin and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine your flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a spoon or rubber spatula. I used my kitchen aid, but it's not necessary. Fold in your white chocolate chips.
  • Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes. Don't skip this step!
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and roll the dough into balls. I used a cookie scoop for this. They were ~1.5 tbsp.
  • Combine the cinnamon and coconut sugar in the group labeled "sugar coating" above. Roll the dough balls in the mixture and place them on your baking sheets.
  • The cookies don't spread out very much, so I recommend flattening them a bit before placing them in the oven.
  • Bake for ~10 minutes, give or take depending on the size. They may look "undercooked" but these are soft-baked cookies, so they can be tricky!
  • Allow your cookies to cool ~10 minutes before placing them on a wire rack. Enjoy once cooled or on the second day (my favorite time to eat them). I find a lot of baked goods that involve pumpkin, sweet potato or banana are best on the second day :)
