Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, soften the butter in the microwave and cream in the white and brown sugars, pumpkin, vanilla, and eggs. add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger to taste (or smell). if you don’t have all of those spices, pumpkin pie spice works just as well.

3. Gradually mix in the flour and add the white chocolate and macadamia nuts. spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes. remove to cool on racks and serve immediately with a glass of milk as you lounge in front of a roaring fire.
