Tips for Perfect Cookies

To ensure your Crumbl Pumpkin Pie Cookies turn out perfectly every time, here are some tips to keep in mind. First, make sure all your ingredients, especially the butter and eggs, are at room temperature for better mixing and a smoother dough. This step will contribute to the cookies’ soft, chewy texture, which is essential for achieving that ideal cookie experience.

Additionally, be cautious not to overmix the dough once you've combined the wet and dry ingredients. Overmixing can result in dense cookies, which we want to avoid. Instead, mix just until the flour is incorporated. Following these simple tips will lead to cookies that are not only delicious but also visually appealing, making them a standout treat for any gathering.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed

3 cups all-purpose flour

Make sure to gather all your ingredients before starting!

Instructions

Make the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt.

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool.

Prepare the Frosting

In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Frost the Cookies

Once cookies are completely cooled, generously frost the top with the cream cheese frosting.

Storage Tips

To keep your cookies fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. This will maintain their soft and chewy texture. If you plan to enjoy them later, consider refrigerating them to prolong their shelf life without compromising taste. Simply allow them to come to room temperature before serving, and they’ll taste just as delightful as the day you baked them.

If you want to prepare in advance, you can freeze the unbaked cookie dough. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag for longer storage. When you're ready to bake, simply cook from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time for perfectly warm cookies anytime.

Pairing Suggestions

These Crumbl Pumpkin Pie Cookies are delicious on their own, but pairing them with other treats can elevate the experience. Consider serving them alongside a warm cup of coffee, apple cider, or even a pumpkin spice latte for a complete fall-inspired indulgence. The flavors of pumpkin and spice harmonize beautifully with these beverages, enhancing the overall enjoyment.

For an extra special treat, try pairing these cookies with a rich scoop of vanilla ice cream. The creaminess of the ice cream complements the spiced cookie perfectly, making for a delightful dessert that everyone will love. This combination is not only tasty but also visually appealing, making it a great option for entertaining guests.
