Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Pumpkin Spice is all the rage as soon as September rolls around… so give these delicious cut out cookies a try!

These are so fun, and they won’t melt and they are perfect for Indian Summer…

It always gets hot on a few days at the minimum in October. But that doesn’t mean we’re not all about the pumpkin spice here, even though it doesn’t seem like Fall yet.

You can roll and cut these cookies into any shape you’d like…

or find a fun cookie pan for a unique shaped cookies like these popsicle cookies

The weather here is hot one day and cooler the next.

Since the weather can’t make up its mind if it’s summer and 104 degrees, or a cool Fall 73… neither can I.

So I made these.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies dipped in icing and graham cracker crumbs.

It’s all the wonderful flavors of pumpkin pie all wrapped into a cookie pop.

The best part, no matter how hot it gets these won’t be dripping down your arm.

So whip up a batch of these pumpkin spice cookies, in popsicle shape, or roll them out and cut them into a shape of your choosing,

they are dipped in icing and graham cracker crumbs too… SO YUMMY! 

I saw this cute Popsicle Cookie Pan and just knew I would find many fun uses for it. It’s available here on Amazon if you can’t find it in a store near you.

To smooth the cookie dough in the pan, I dipped the bottom of a measuring cup in flour and pressed the dough into the pan evenly.

Be careful when placing the sticks into the warm cookies, and press one hand on top of the cookie as the other hand slides the stick into the cookies don’t crack/break.

When I handed these out some people really thought I was handing them a popsicle. They are really fun and I’m sure I’ll be using the pan again, I even bough two of the pans, just so I could bake more at once.

Alternatively, you could use a Muffin Top Pan, and make round cookies… which are totally cute too. Add some icing and sprinkles for a fun treat!
