These spiced white chocolate chip cookies with pumpkin seeds balance sweetness with warmth and spice. Fresh ginger, cinnamon, and a small amount of cayenne give them a bit of warming heat that contrasts with creamy white chocolate, while roasted salted pumpkin seeds add crunch and a savory edge.
I've been making these spiced white chocolate chip cookies for years and I still can't get enough. This is by far my favourite fall cookie recipe. They're soft and chewy with little crisp and salty bits from the roasted pumpkin seeds and luscious pockets of creamy and sweet white chocolate.
It's all enveloped in a spiced cookie dough that will leave a hint of spice on your tongue. Besides being so delicious, this is also a tried and true easy cookie recipe.
These cookies are ah-mazing. Think of a cross between a chewy gingerbread cookie and a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. I tested the recipe 3-4 times over the course of a week to get it just right. Friends and family were my willing guinea pigs and they absolutely loved these cookies. There's a bit of extra salt to counter the sweet and the spice and I think that's what makes them so good.
