Ingredients
1 ½ cups sugar cookie dough
1 cup pumpkin puree
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
2. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into each cup and press to form a well.
3. In a bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla.
4. Spoon filling into each cookie cup, just below the rim.
5. Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden and filling is set.
6. Let cookies cool completely in the pan before removing.
7. Top each with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
Notes
Let the cookies cool fully before adding whipped cream to avoid melting.
You can substitute sugar cookie dough with brown sugar cookie dough for a richer base.
