The Best Ever Pumpkin Cookie Recipe

Pumpkin Cookie Recipe

Mmmmm… Pumpkin Cookies!  When I say these cookies are the best ever… I mean it! There is something about a warm moist cookie on a crisp fall day. I don’t know about you, but when it comes to fall baking, one of the first ingredients I think of is pumpkin. You will love this Pumpkin Cookie Recipe.

I’ve already shown you a delicious Pumpkin Muffin Recipe, a super moist Pumpkin Bread Recipe, and some fun Pumpkin Cupcakes, so today I have these delicious Pumpkin Cookies for you to try. There are only a handful of ingredients (most of which you probably already have on hand). This recipe is very easy to follow so you can have these mixed and baked in under 15 minutes. However, the cookies will look and taste so good people will think you’ve spent hours on them. 😉

Time saving tip: If you are still scooping cookies with two spoons, you really need to get yourself some stainless steel scoops! I have had mine for several years and I use them for all types of baking. I used the smallest of the 3 scoops for these Pumpkin Cookies and they were just the right size for adults and kids.

This recipe is very frugal, since you are making it from scratch. However, to save even more money, stock up on pumpkin during the fall months. Canned pumpkin is at its lowest price in October and November. Stock up so you can enjoy our pumpkin recipes all year long at the lowest price.

This Pumpkin Cookie Recipe taste great right out of the oven. However, if you can wait a little bit, they taste even better the next day! I know that sounds crazy, but the longer these cookies sit, the more rich the flavor becomes. Don’t believe me? Try it! Make this Pumpkin Cookie recipe and try some right away. Then try some the next day, and then the day after that.
