Pumpkin-White Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LIBBY’S Pumpkin. All opinions are 100% mine.

Pumpkin goes a little tropical in these pumpkin cookies with white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and just a hint of shredded coconut. Pumpkin is an ingredient I enjoy cooking with year round and I love to try and adapt it to the different seasons. Since it’s a gazillion degrees in South Carolina I wanted to use pumpkin to make a soft, cakey cookie that would be well-suited for ice cream sandwiches

I thought white chocolate, macadamia nuts, and coconut would be perfect for summer. The macadamia nuts add a nice crunch and the coconut provides some texture contrast as well as sweetness. You could switch out the white chocolate chips for semi-sweet or milk chocolate and the macadamia nuts for any type of nut. The wonderful thing about pumpkin is it goes well with just about anything.

Whenever I cook with pumpkin, I always use LIBBY’S 100% Pure Pumpkin. It is naturally sodium-free has no added sugar or preservatives, and is full of good nutrition. Plus LIBBY’S pumpkin allows you to easily cut back on fat and calories in baked goods without sacrificing flavor.

There’s no butter or oil in these cookies but you wouldn’t know it from tasting them. The pumpkin is all that’s needed to create plenty of moistness and flavor. They are best eaten warm from the oven, straight from the refrigerator, or as an ice cream sandwich. My favorite is as an ice cream sandwich. Even after being in the freezer, these cookies still stay soft and make a super easy to eat sandwich.

You’ll have a little pumpkin left over if you use a 15 ounce can of LIBBY’S pumpkin. It can either be frozen (try freezing it in ice cube trays to make small portions you can add to sauces or chili) or you can add a spoonful or two to a bowl of oatmeal, mix it with cream cheese and cinnamon and spread it on your bagel, or add it to mac and cheese. The possibilities are endless when cooking with LIBBY’S pumpkin.
