Dare I admit that I don’t like pumpkin pie? I don’t…I can’t stand it! However, that doesn’t mean I don’t like pumpkin. Hubbyman thinks it’s crazy that I don’t like pumpkin pie (I don’t like apple pie either….eek)!
I do love canning my own pumpkin and I also make my own pumpkin butter from scratch. It’s quite easy and it honestly tastes so much better than the store bought stuff. This recipe uses pumpkin butter and sweet and spiced thick spread (think apple butter). It really adds a wonderful flavor to these cookies. I recommend making your own (I’ll share my quick pumpkin butter recipe soon, I promise); check out my recipe for how to do it. Or try to find it at the store. I know Trader Joe’s sells pumpkin butter, but I don’t think it’s in stores just yet.
The cookies have a nice pumpkin flavor. They aren’t overly pumpkin-y though. They have a nice texture too..not quite sugar cookie texture, but not typical cakey pumpkin cookie texture either. It’s a nice combination of the two.
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a stand mixer, combine butter, sugar, and egg and beat until well combined. Add in remaining ingredients just until combined.
Scoop by tablespoon full onto a baking sheet prepared with non-stick cooking spray. Place about 1/2 cup sugar in a shallow bowl and using the bottom of a cup, dip into sugar and then press down cookie balls until flat.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden.

ha– we love that pumpkin pie– and Dianna is making cookies today for the kids so I found this one here for something new–thanks
I have total issues with pumpkin pie….it’s a texture thing. These cookies? Would so be okay.
If you like the flavor of pumpkin, then yes! It’s totally a cookie texture.
Lovely! Although I might like to give these a try with apple butter…and now I’m kind of wishing I had some in my fridge right now! Yummy.

This sound delish! I love pumpkin anything actually.pie, cookies, pasta..lool
I totally love pumpkin pie… and apple as well! I think this recipe would go over very well in my home and would be something a little different for the season! Thank you for sharing
sounds great! i’m not a big fan of pumpkin pie – don’t get me wrong, i’ll eat it if i have enough whipped cream on it – but i’m not big on cinnamon or nutmeg flavors… my 7 yr old, however, he BEGS for pumpkin pie – the only fruit (pie or otherwise) he’ll actually ask for.
