In a medium saucepan, melt some buttery goodness. Once melted, stir in brown and white sugar, cooking over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until everything is beautifully smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before moving on.
In a medium to large bowl, combine egg yolk, vanilla extract, unsweetened pumpkin puree, quick-cook oats, baking soda, a pinch of salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon
Combine the cooled butter and sugar mixture with all-purpose flour. Next, fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans, mixing thoroughly. Once everything is well incorporated, let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Start by lining your cookie sheets with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Using a cookie scoop, plop your dough onto the prepared sheets. Bake them for about 11 minutes or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Place the parchment sheet on the counter and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Once the cookies have cooled and are set, gently use a spatula to transfer them into an airtight container for storage.
