Time saving tip forpumpkin crinkle cookies:

If you are still scooping cookies with two spoons, you really need to get yourself some stainless steel scoops! I have had mine for several years and I use them for all types of baking. We like to use the smallest of the 3 scoops for these Pumpkin Cookies and they were just the right size for adults and kids.

Plus, I also think they look more uniform when you use a cookie scoop.

I bought the three pack, so I can use the smaller two for cookies and then the bigger one to fill upcupcakes.They will get lots of use and you will be glad you bought them.

This Pumpkin Cookie Recipe taste great right out of the oven. However, if you can wait a little bit, they taste even better the next day!

I know that sounds crazy, but the longer these cookies sit, the more rich the flavor becomes. Don’t believe me? Try it!

Make this Pumpkin Cookie recipe and try some right away. Then try some the next day, and then the day after that.

It’s also amazing with cream cheese icing. So delicious with the pumpkin pie spice! We also love a pumpkin chocolate chip combination for something different.
