Pumpkin Cookies with White Chocolate Chips

I thought the Pumpkin Spice Donut Muffins for among the best things I've ever made, but when I brought these Pumpkin Cookies with White Chocolate Chips into work a few days later, my boss declared, "these are the best things I've ever eaten... the best!"

So, if you are a pumpkin fan, cookie fan, or just someone who enjoys life, give these cookies a go. They may or may not have been my breakfast for two days in a row... OK, they absolutely were my breakfast for two days in a row.
