When the weather drops into the 60s, the leaves change colors, and it starts getting dark out a bit earlier you know exactly what time it is: pumpkin time! Pumpkin spice and pumpkin baking truly signals the start of Fall. And if you’re a soft baked cookie lover like me, I’ve got 5 of my best pumpkin cookie recipes you ca try this season!
Pumpkin White Chocolate Cookies
Now usually I’m not the biggest fan of white chocolate morsels, but in these Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies they just work! When the sweet white chocolate blends with the strong pumpkin spice flavors you get that perfect balance and sweet and spice.
Pumpkin Spice Latte Cookies
Many of us know what PSL means without any further explanation. And incase you do PSL stands for: pumpkin spice latte. It does seem like the PSL is getting released a bit earlier and earlier every year…I mean, I swear I saw one in August this year! So for all you PSL lovers you might love my Pumpkin Spice Latte Cookies. Robust espresso powder combines with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spices to make a delightful cookie that mimics our favorite Fall latte.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies
If there’s one type of cookie I’ll never turn my back on, it’s one that’s got huge pools of dark chocolate swimming on top. So of course I had to make a version of that cookie with these Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies. Skip the bag of morsels here, you’ll need to buy bars of dark chocolate and chop the chunks yourself. Extra work, but I promise it’s SO worth it.
Iced Pumpkin Sugar Cookies
Perfectly chewy and soft baked pumpkin sugar cookies that actually hold their shape! I tested these cookies literally 5-6 times before I perfected a pumpkin sugar cookie dough that you could roll and cut shapes that didn’t puff up when baking. I think you’ll love these Pumpkin Sugar Cookies as much as I do, and have some fun with your shapes!
Iced Pumpkin Cookie Bars
Ok so not technically a cookie, but a cookie bar is close enough for the purpose of this list haha. The Pumpkin Cookie Bars are iced with a sweetened cream cheese frosting and are just as epically soft baked as a cookie. Bake these for 25 minutes, or 20 minutes for that gooey ‘medium rare’ cookie texture.
So there you have it! 5 pumpkin spiced cookies that are sure to make your Fall baking a bit tastier. Which one would you bake first?
