No one will be able to get enough of this pumpkin treat!
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.
Let us know what you think about this Pumpkin Spice Cookies Recipe.
Do you like these fresh out of the oven or a day or two later? That might seem like an easy enough question. The only challenge will be to see if you and your family can actually make these last more than a day or two. 😉
If you love pumpkin recipes as much as my family does make sure you check out all our pumpkin recipes.

Jill says
I’m getting ready to make these, how do you keep them from sticking to your hand? Do you stick them in the fridge for 30 minutes or so?
grace says
I made these and they came out great! Do you store them in the frig or just a sealed container in cabinet? Thanks!
Lisa says
I made these for a pre-Thanksgiving get together and they were a hit with the whole croud. I’m definitely going to be making many more for Thanksgiving. The recipe is simple but absolutely delicious!

Jodi says
They are fabulous!
Carrie says
Yes I would.
Lacey says
These are excellent! I will make these every year. I would add a helpful tip: use a spoon or ice cream scoop, NOT your hands, to roll dough in the powdered sugar. I used tongs to get the dough out of the sugar and on the baking sheet.
Bonnie says
Can these cookies be made and then frozen for later use?
Bonnie says
I made these cookies on September 25, 2019. Due to having to roll the cookies in icing sugar they took longer than other cookie recipes but well worth the extra time. I love the taste of all the spices and will definitely make these cookies again.
Carrie says
Thanks for sharing Bonnie!
Carrie says
Yes, definitely!
Breanna says
I picked this recipe for a thanksgiving desert. While mixing everything together I was getting more and more excited to see how these turned out! The recipe specifically states DO NOT OVER COOK. At the 6 and 8 minute park I could not see how letting them cool on a wire rack would settle the batter. I baked these cookies a total of 3 times throwing all 30 away each time not to mention all the money I spent. I was so ready to give up. I finally called my mom to come over for reinforcements… in order to get these cookies to bake fully without over doing the tops or bottoms I had to flatten them. I am so glad I kept trying and didn’t give up because these cookies are #2 on my list of homemade items I love!
