Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect for a fall-themed party or as a sweet treat after Thanksgiving dinner. Serve them alongside a glass of cold milk or hot apple cider for the ultimate autumn experience.
Variations
If you want to mix things up a bit, try adding some chopped nuts or raisins to the cookie dough. You could also drizzle some melted white chocolate over the top of the cooled cookies for an extra sweet touch.
Substitutions
If you don’t have pumpkin pie filling on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of canned pumpkin puree. You can also use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a richer flavor.
Storage
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is softened before mixing it with the sugar. This will help the cookies come out light and fluffy.
- Don’t overmix the dough. Overmixing can cause the cookies to be tough and dense.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to ensure the cookies are all the same size and cook evenly.
Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of baking. If you plan to freeze them, wait until they have cooled completely before placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
