October, also known as pumpkin-spice month, also happens to be Cookie Month, so this we’re sharing five cookie recipes that will melt your heart and your taste buds (in a good way) featuring sugar and spice and everything nice — especially pumpkin! Head to your favorite pumpkin patch in the Philadelphia, PA area for sweet cooking pumpkins (or to the grocery store for canned pumpkin) and whip a batch or two of cookies in your Arrive University apartment.
Cookie Recipes Featuring Pumpkin
Cinnamon chip pumpkin cookies
The author of this recipe claims to have made the perfect pumpkin cookie that is not too cakey in texture and that maximizes the pumpkin flavoring without becoming too overpowering. This recipe is just a twist on that, with cinnamon instead of chocolate chips and coated in cinnamon sugar. It’s definitely worth trying if you love easy mixing and lots of flavor!
Flourless pumpkin oatmeal raisin cookies
If you need a healthy reprieve from all those cookies you’ve been making this month, this recipe is a great option. If you use gluten-free oats, you can even make the cookies completely gluten-free! Enjoy the pumpkin and cinnamon flavor of these cookies, complemented with that unique raisin taste, while appreciating the texture of the oats and how well they’re rolled into a yummy cookie.
Soft pumpkin sugar cookies with caramel cream cheese frosting
Just think of how much you love sugar cookies, cream cheese, and caramel, individually. Then imagine putting that all together for a cookie that perfectly complements itself and gives you the happiness of a successful new recipe. The potential is great with this cookie.
Pumpkin cheesecake cookies
The creamy center, soft cookie, and graham cracker coating will make you feel reminiscent of a cheesecake. The pumpkin flavoring is just enough to make you feel that you’re a part of the pumpkin craze. And the overall cookie just might make you feel like you’ve found a new fall staple!
Melt in your mouth pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting
Cream cheese frosting clearly can only add to a stellar pumpkin cookie, but this frosting just adds to the melt-in-your-mouth decadence of this recipe. Enjoy this recipe for a classic pumpkin cookie, moist and warm and thick and full of autumn love.
We think October is the perfect month to try new-to-you recipes featuring pumpkin and share them with your neighbor in our apartment community or take them to a Halloween party.
