Pumpkin White Chocolate Doodles

Cookie Monster really had the right idea you know?? There is no greater pleasure in this world than a fresh baked cookie. Give me a glass of milk and I'm all set.

My mom makes the BEST homemade chocolate chip cookies. After a long day at school, it was so nice to come home to the sight of fresh from the oven gooey chocolatey cookies...cooling on a paper towel.

Well, these ain't momma's cookies. This recipe for pumpkin white chocolate doodles comes from my weakness for pumpkin and the need to satisfy my craving for chocolate, well, white chocolate. These cookies have a light and fluffy texture with a nice balance of flavor.

1 cup canned pumpkin

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

In a bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, applesauce, and egg. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and add to the flour. Stir well. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
