Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the pumpkin puree, molasses, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually integrate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Incorporate the white chocolate chips evenly.
5. Using a cookie scoop, form 1-inch dough balls, roll them in the additional sugar, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
6. Gently flatten each ball with your palm. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and tops slightly cracked.
7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Serving Suggestions
Pair these cookies with a cup of hot cocoa or a pumpkin spice latte for the ultimate fall treat. They’re also excellent crumbled over vanilla ice cream or served alongside a fruit platter.

Pro Tips for Success
Ensure your butter is softened to cream well with the sugar. For uniformly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop. Do not overbake; they’re best when slightly underbaked and chewy.

Storing and Reheating
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To maintain their softness, place a slice of bread in the container. For a warm treat, briefly reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
