Pumpkin White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Fall is here, and that means pumpkin season! Pumpkin is one of those flavors that just screams comfort food to me. It brings back childhood memories of eating warm pumpkin cookies fresh out of the oven, and these Pumpkin White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are my recreation of that memory.

This pumpkin puree cookie recipe marries pumpkin with my favorite nut, the Macadamia Nut. Then we add in a little pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and white chocolate. Heck, if one were to make the batter and roll it in cinnamon sugar, you would get a pretty good pumpkin snickerdoodle. We hope that you love this Pumpkin White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies recipe. Now let's get cooking!
