PUMPKIN COOKIE DOUGH POPS

Steps:

• Beat butter and sugars and in large bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add milk, pumpkin butter and vanilla and mix again until well combined.
• Add flour, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice and mix on low speed (or with a spoon by hand) until incorporated. Stir in one-third of the chocolate chips (1/2 cup as original recipe is written), cover and chill dough for an hour.
• Form dough into 1 inch balls around popsicle sticks (mine had spoon ends, which I recommend) and arrange on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper or a silicon baking mat. Place in freezer and let chill for 30 minutes.
• Melt remaining chocolate chips (1 cup as original recipe is written) over a double boiler with coconut oil (or in microwave in 30-second increments being careful not to overcook).
• With a large metal spoon, scoop up melted chocolate and dip and swirl the dough balls around in the spoon, coating to cover. Tap pops on side of the bowl to remove excess coating and return to waxed paper-lined baking sheets (or dip in crushed pretzels first). Chill in fridge until set.
• Store chilled in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or the freezer for several weeks.

PECAN PIE PUMPKIN CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the pecans on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool and then chop.
• Crumble the cake into a large bowl.
• Put the heavy cream and chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each time, until the chips have melted and the mixture is smooth.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle the rum over the cake crumbs. Then pour the melted white chocolate over the cake crumbs. Add the pecans and stir with a fork to combine and moisten the cake. Squeeze about 2 tablespoons of the cake crumbs in your hand and roll into a ball. (A small cookie scoop helps to portion the cake; just press it firmly into the scoop, remove and roll in your hands to form a ball.) If you have trouble with the cake sticking together, add cream and/or rum, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until it does. Repeat with the remaining cake crumbs. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes. Remove 5 minutes before using.
• Put the green candy melts and 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil in a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. (Alternatively, you can melt it over a double boiler.) If the chocolate is still thick and not smooth, add more coconut oil 1 teaspoon at a time until smooth. Let the chocolate cool 1 minute before dipping.
• Dip 2 inches of a lollipop stick into the green chocolate, rolling to coat and removing any excess. Insert the green end into the center of the cake ball, so about 1 inch of the green is exposed. Repeat with the remaining lollipop sticks.
• Put the orange candy melts and 3 tablespoons of the coconut oil in a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. (Alternatively, you can melt it over a double boiler.) If the chocolate is still thick and not smooth, add more coconut oil 1 teaspoon at a time until smooth. Let the chocolate cool 1 minute before dipping.
• Dip each cake pop into the orange chocolate, taking care not to get any on the green stem. Let the excess chocolate to drip off and then put back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Then dip the pops one more time in the orange chocolate. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
• Put the remaining green chocolate (about 1/4 cup) into a disposable pastry bag or zip-top bag. Pipe vines and leaves on top of the cake pop where the stem is.

PUMPKIN "I SCREAM" COOKIE POPS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, egg and flour until dough forms. Divide dough in half; shape each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
• Heat oven to 375°F. On lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter. On ungreased cookie sheet, place cutouts 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough and reroll scraps.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely.
• For each sandwich cookie, spread 1/3 cup ice cream on bottom of 1 cookie; press craft stick in center of ice cream. Top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press together. Press candy sprinkles into ice cream on edges. Wrap in plastic wrap; freeze 1 hour. Unwrap; decorate cookies with icing. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Rewrap in plastic wrap; store in freezer.

PUMPKIN CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. For the cake: Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sugars together. Stir in the milk and vanilla, and then add the oil. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and pour the liquid mixture over the dry mixture. Use a wooden spoon to stir the batter together, and then switch to a whisk and give the batter a good 3 or 4 beats before pouring it into the prepared baking dish. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out the batter and place it in the oven until the cake is golden and springs back to light pressure, 25 to 28 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely. Meanwhile, place the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast them until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a large plate to cool, then transfer to a cutting board and finely chop. Place the nuts in a medium bowl and set aside. Divide the cake into quarters and crumble it into a large bowl. Once all of the cake is crumbled, drag 2 forks through the cake in opposite directions to crumble it into a very fine crumb (you can also use a food processor to pulse the cake into fine crumbs). Set aside.
• For the frosting: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper and set aside. Using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until airy, about 3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir the cream cheese frosting into the cake crumbs and, once the mixture looks like wet graham crackers crumbs, roll it into ping pong-size balls. Place the cake balls on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Place the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt at 50-percent power, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes (or melt the chocolate over a double boiler, stirring often, until the chocolate is melted). Remove the cake balls from the freezer and insert a lollypop stick or small appetizer-length skewer into the top of each one (stick it in far enough so it is more than halfway through but doesn't puncture the other side of the ball). Dip each ball into the white chocolate, using a spoon to help coat the underside. Tap the stick against the side of the bowl a few times and swirl the stick to encourage the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Dip the top of the ball into the nuts, and then place the cake pop back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet, nut-side down (so the stick points straight up). Repeat with the remaining cake balls. Let the cake pops stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Serve that day or refrigerate for up to 3 days and then serve.

PUMPKIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt.
• In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract until blended.
• Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat just until combined.
• Scoop the batter into 2-tablespoon scoops, at least 1 inch apart, onto the prepared sheets. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake one sheet at time until the cookies are puffed, set and spring back when gently pressed in the center, about 12 minutes. Repeat with the second sheet.
• Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
