Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.

  • To make the cookies chewier, add 1/4 cup of oats to the dough.

  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

  • Bake the cookies until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

Pumpkin pie cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home. With their warm, comforting spices and creamy pumpkin filling, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
