| Preparation Time | 15-20 minutes |
| Cooking Time | 20 minutes |
| Total Time | 35-40 minutes |
| Level of Difficulty | Medium |
Ingredients
- 16 oz store-bought sugar cookie dough (such as pillsbury)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream for topping
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
While the oven is heating, grease a muffin tin with shortening, Pam Spray, or Baker’s Joy (which contains flour).
Make sure each muffin hole is well-coated to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Pumpkin Filling
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the following ingredients: pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
Ensure the egg is fully whisked in and all ingredients are well combined to create a smooth filling.
Step 3: Prepare and Partially Bake Cookie Crusts
Press a sugar cookie into each muffin hole, pressing slightly up the sides to create a shallow crust shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven (it will be hot).
Using the end of a wooden spoon, reshape the cookies into more defined “pie crust” shapes.
You can wipe the rims clean with a paper towel for a tidier appearance.
Step 4: Add Pumpkin Filling and Continue Baking
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin filling into each partially baked cookie crust.
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the pumpkin filling is set.
Step 5: Cool and Set the Cookies
Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, chill the cookies in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to ensure they are fully set.
Carefully use a knife to loosen the cookies from the muffin tin.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
When ready to serve, add a dollop of whipped cream to the top of each cookie.
Enjoy your delicious pumpkin pie cookies!
