Pumpkin Crinkle Cookies are incredibly soft and chewy cookies with tons of pumpkin spice flavor. Easy to make and made with real pumpkin, these Pumpkin Crinkle Cookies are the perfect bite of fall!

Pumpkin Crinkle Cookies

As I am writting this, it is September and officially ‘Pumpkin Everything’ season and I am one of ‘those’ people. 

I am not going to apologize for my happiness, sassiness or ridiculously enthusiastic support of all that is pumpkin!

Trust me, a plate of these Pumpkin Crinkle Cookies and an XL cup of coffee and you will find nothing but sunshine and sprinkles shooting out me at an almost offensive, sickening level. #unapologetic

When it comes to easy pumpkin recipes, I love Pumpkin Snickerdoodles, PumpkinCrunch Cake and Pumpkin CheesecakeMousse Parfaits but these crinkle cookies have to be my favorite.

These Pumpkin Crinkle Cookies the perfect soft and chewy pumpkin cookie, rolled in powdered sugar and then baked to cookie perfection. 

  • These Pumpkin Crinkle Cookies are made using just a handful of ingredients that you probably already have on hand 🙂
  • These are the softest, fluffiest cookies and adding fall flavors makes these sweet treats irresistible
  • Easy to make, super cute, crazy tasty … “Hostest with the Mostest” award goes to … (insert your name HERE) …

To make these crinkle cookies, you will need:

  • Butter
  • Eggs
  • Sugar, brown and while granulated
  • Pumpkin Puree
  • All purpose flour
  • Baking powder and baking soda
  • Vanilla extract
  • Fall spices
  • Powdered sugar

how do you make pumpkin cookies?

Start by adding flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt to bowl and whisk to combine. 

baking dry ingredients in a bowl

Add butter, brown sugar and white sugar to a large bowl and beat to combine. Add in the egg, pumpkin puree and vanilla.  Mix to combine.

In increments, slowly add in your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and once combined, move to you refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. 

Once chilled, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray. 

Add 2/3 cup white sugar to a small bowl and the powdered sugar to a second bowl.

Using a spoon or kitchen scooper, scoop out enough dough to make a 1 inch ball.  

Roll the dough ball through the granulated sugar first and then the powdered sugar second, making sure to completely cover the dough ball.

Move your ball to the baking sheet and once filled, bake for 11-13 minutes.

Remove from oven and move to baking rack to cool. 

You can also re-dip you crinkle cookies in the powdered sugar while they are warm for a bit of extra sweetness.

Once cooled, move to an airtight container.  Cookies will stay fresh at room temperature for 5-7 days.

pro tips for perfect crinkle cookies

  • You want to make sure you are measuring your flour correctly. If you scoop out a measuring cup of flour directly from the bag, you will pack in way too much flour which will result in cake-like cookies. To avoid this, spoon the flour into the measuring cup until its overfilled and then use the back of a butter knife to level the measuring cup at the top. Now you have the perfect flour measurement!
  • Double check that you are using pumpkin puree in these cookies and not pumpkin pie filling. The cans usually look similar so be sure to grab the right one.
  • Don’t skip the step of chilling your cookie dough for at least 30 minutes so your cookies don’t spread too much in the oven.
  • This is a soft cookie dough which is why they are rolled in both granulated sugar and powdered sugar.  I promise these cookies are not too sweet, even with the double rolling.

can you freeze this cookie dough?

Yes!!! To freeze this dough, simply follow the steps above and once you form the cookie dough balls and have them on a sheet pan, move your baking pan to the freezer.

When the cookie balls are hard, transfer them to a plastic bag or airtight container and you can store them in the freezer for up to three months.

When you’re ready to bake them, take the frozen cookie dough balls and bake them straight from the freezer. You will want to add a couple of extra minutes of baking time so keep an eye on them!
