If a homemade pumpkin pie and a soft sugar cookie had little cookies of their own, well, let these speak for themselves. Add your favorite seasoned nuts if you wish. I happened to have had some caramelized sugar I had previously made and I crushed this up and added to the top of some of the cookies just before baking.

I made these cookies according to the directions. The only change was I added an extra tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice and I refrigerated the dough longer than required. Taste was excellent but they were a little soft so next time I will up the cooking time by a few more minutes. Absolutely delicious! Read More

I made these according to directions and chilled them for over an hour. I baked half the batch. They ran together while baking. I test tasted when they were done and found them fairly bland. For the second half I added a little flour and added a teaspoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice and brown sugar for the top with a little cinnamon added to it to be pressed on top. These had a little more flavor. I may try them again but will tweak more. Read More

These are very tasty and extremely easy to whip up! I added cinnamon to the sugar before pressing the cookies down and it is delicious! The pumpkin spice flavor is subtle I might add a little more next time. Read More

Cute little cookies that spread a bit so space them a bit apart but you can still get about 9 cookies to a sheet to bake. I added the pumpkin pie spice to the sugar mixture because of a comment that you couldn't taste the spice much. These are a tad too sweet with the extra sugar for my taste but they are sugar cookies so it makes sense. I baked for 10 minutes at 350 degrees instead of 7 minutes at 375. Thanks for the recipe!

I think 5-7 minutes in the oven might not be enough since the cookies tasted exactly just like the dough and they were wayyy too soft. And maybe the recipe needs a bit more pumpkin pie spice but overall these were great. Read More

I made these but I also added an EXTRA 1 tsp of pumpkin spice and added a dash of cinnamon to the sugar coating when placing the cookies on the baking sheet. Perfect and definitely a keeper. While the recipe didn t specify salted or unsalted butter I had only salted onhand. Like I said - Cookies are a keeper and do-again!! Read More
