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)!Delicious Pumpkin Butter Sugar Cookies are the perfect texture, not too cake like but not crunchy like a sugar cookie and just the right amount of pumpkin flavor!

I do love canning my own pumpkin and I also make my own pumpkin butter from scratch, basically I love easy pumpkin recipes…just not pie! 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 or try to find it at the store. I know Trader Joe’s sells pumpkin butter, but it’s not in stores year round.

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.

    Was so excited to make these cookies but unfortunately they did not come out well at all, quite dry and tasteless - I'd definitely cut down on the flour which just overpowered the taste of the sugar and pumpkin butter. I had limited space on my tray so I did it in halves - the second batch I added more pumpkin butter and a little vanilla which improved them significantly, but still very floury. So next time - less flour (probably 2 cups instead of 3) and more butter!!

    made these over the weekend, I did a double batch. BIG mistake. I got so many cookies they were coming out my ears. Had to pass them out to friends, neighbors, coworkers, wow! and the flavor? it was just enough pumpkin flavor and sugar to be addicting. I think you need to change the name to pumpkin butter sugar CRACK cookies. EXCELLENT recipe

    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.

    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 :)
