Delight in these Crumbl Copycat Pumpkin Pie Cookies, combining classic pumpkin pie flavors with the convenience of cookies.

1 cup Butter Provides richness and moisture; substitute with plant-based butter for a dairy-free option.
1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and texture; can be replaced with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
½ cup Brown Sugar Contributes moisture and slight molasses flavor; substitute with more granulated sugar or coconut sugar if needed.
1 large Egg Binds ingredients and helps maintain cookie structure; use a flax egg as a vegan alternative.
2 cups All-Purpose Flour Gives structure to the cookies; can be swapped with a gluten-free flour blend.
1 cup Pumpkin Puree Delivers moisture and that beloved pumpkin flavor; ensure to use plain puree, avoiding pumpkin pie filling.
1 teaspoon Baking Soda Aids in rising and fluffiness; no substitution is necessary.
2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice A delightful blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; feel free to mix your own spices if you lack this staple.
½ teaspoon Salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors; omit only if using salted butter.

1 cup Cream Cheese Frosting Adds a sweet, creamy finish; it's perfect for those wanting a bit more indulgence!
1 teaspoon Extra Pumpkin Pie Spice Sprinkle on top for a beautiful touch and added flavor.

Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color. Then, beat in the egg and pumpkin puree until completely smooth.
Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until just combined, ensuring not to overmix for the best texture.
Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps maintain the shape of your cookies while baking.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills, so it's ready to bake when you're done.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are firm, but the centers should remain slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Top with cream cheese frosting or a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice if desired.

For an extra festive finish, consider drizzling with caramel before serving.
