How to Make Crumbl Pumpkin Pie Cookies

Let’s make it together! Follow these comforting steps to whip up your Crumbl Pumpkin Pie Cookies.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. The mixture should be pale and airy, almost like your favorite whipped frosting.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated. The scent of vanilla will add a delightful warmth to your dough.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed mixture until just combined. Try not to over mix—you’re aiming for a soft dough that feels comforting to touch.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Don’t worry about making them perfect; each cookie will have its unique character!
In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth and creamy. This filling is the heart of these cookies, reminiscent of the beloved pumpkin pie.
Spoon a small amount of the pumpkin mixture onto each cookie. Don’t be shy—these desserts love a generous topping!
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Your kitchen will fill with the comforting scent of fall as these cookies bake.
Let cool before serving, if you can resist—though I’ll tell you, they are just divine warm!

Variations & Creative Twists

Have fun with these delicious variations to try:

Chocolate Drizzle: After baking, add a drizzle of melted chocolate over the top for a delightful contrast of flavors.
Nutty Crunch: Fold in some chopped pecans or walnuts into the cookie dough for added texture and a nutty flavor.
Cream Cheese Swirl: Replace half of the pumpkin mixture with a sweetened cream cheese blend to indulge in a creamy twist.
Maple Infusion: Substitute the vanilla extract with maple extract for a cozy, woodsy flavor profile that enhances the fall experience.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
