These pumpkin pie spice cookies are a no-brainer with all the fall flavors you love in every chewy, crunchy bite. Perfect for dipping in your morning coffee.
Pumpkin Pie Spice Cookies
When you think of fall you probably think of pumpkins and pumpkin pie. I myself am not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, but everyone else in my family loves it. So when my sister invited us to her home for a family dinner, I challenged myself to make some pumpkin pie spice cookies to bring for dessert.
This recipe is similar to my twisted chocolate chip cookie recipe with slightly varying amounts and no chocolate. Of course, there is the main ingredient, pumpkin pie spice.
I used a pumpkin pie spice jar mix from the grocery store, but you can make your own blend by combining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
Typically cinnamon is the strongest flavor but you can play with them to get the combination that suits your taste. Also, there are many pumpkin spice blend recipes on the web that will give you an exact recipe to follow.
Tip: Some people have since told me that they would prefer more spice flavor so I suggested increasing the pumpkin pie spices to one tablespoon.
The result is a very thin cookie with a crunchy and chewy texture. I think that they would be great to dunk in your coffee or enjoy with a cold glass of milk.

The great thing about these pumpkin spice sugar cookies being so thin is that this recipe makes around 5-6 dozen cookies. That's a lot of cookies.
Do you know, not a single cookie was left at the end of the night. I hope you like them too.

Hi Patti, I've looked up and down this post and no recipe is showing up! Is it because I'm on my phone?

The one thing I don't bake is pies! I love the idea of this cookie. Tastes like fall but isn't a pie! Will definitely be making these for my family! Also love that it makes a big batch so I can share some.

Thanks Susan,
They turned out pretty good. I loved challenging myself to create new combinations. While they don't always turn out it's fun to stretch my creativity.
