Pumpkin Pie Cookies are soft cookie cups filled with creamy, spiced pumpkin and topped with whipped cream. Perfect for fall gatherings or a sweet Thanksgiving treat.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp canned pumpkin puree
5 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup heavy cream (for topping)
Instructions
Make the Cookie Bases:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream together butter, oil, and sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until everything is well combined.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing only until the dough comes together.
- Roll dough into 24 balls (27 grams each) and press into greased muffin pan cavities to form shallow crusts.
- Chill for 30 minutes (or freeze for 15 minutes). Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place muffin pans on a preheated baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and press centers down to create wells. Cool for at least 15 minutes.
Make the Filling:
- Mix all filling ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into each cooled crust.
- Lower oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 12 more minutes.
- Cool completely in pans before removing gently with a knife.
Decorate:
- Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- Pipe onto each cookie using a star tip for a festive finish.
