Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 300 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1-2 tsps pumpkin spice mix
Wet Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 100 g brown sugar
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 200 g white chocolate chips
- 100 g orange/pumpkin/Halloween M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Trays: Preheat your oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan). Line two to three large baking trays with parchment paper and set them aside for later.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric whisk, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about two minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. If whisking by hand, extend this step to three minutes for the best texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the vanilla extract and the egg into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Whisk again until fully combined and smooth.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients: Add the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cornflour, and pumpkin spice mix to the wet ingredients. Stir the mixture until all the dry ingredients are just combined, forming the cookie dough.
- Fold in Chocolate and M&Ms: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and orange/pumpkin/Halloween M&Ms, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough into even balls, then roll each scoop gently between your hands to form consistent cookie shapes.
- Bake: Place the cookie dough balls spaced evenly on the lined baking trays. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the trays for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- Pumpkin spice adds a festive autumn flavor that pairs wonderfully with white chocolate and colorful candy additions.
- For even baking, make sure all cookie dough balls are uniform in size.
- You can substitute the halloween-themed M&Ms with any colorful candy or nuts of your choice.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, increase the amount of pumpkin spice mix to 2 teaspoons.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
