Mini Pumpkin Pie Cookies Tips:

  • Chill Pie Crust – Make sure to keep your pie crust chilled until you are ready to assemble the cookies and work quickly when assembling the cookies so that the cookies are not tough.
  • Cookie Cutter – Use a cookie cutter to cut circles in the pie crust. You can also place a glass upside down on the pie crust and cut the circles that way.
  • Large Pumpkin Cookies – If you prefer you can make 4 inch handle pumpkin pie cookies. Then you can cut in serve in smaller pieces. We just enjoy the mini version better.
  • Mixer – You can use an electric mixer or hand mixer to mix the pumpkin ingredients.
  • Chocolate Chip – You can easily add chocolate chips with the pumpkin pie mix to add flavor.
  • Pumpkin Puree – When making this recipe use pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling. The pumpkin pie filling has added ingredients that are not needed for this recipe.

Topping Ideas:

  • Whipped cream.We like to makehomemade whipped cream. It is very simple to make in a small bowl.
  • Reddi Whip.This is an easy topping if you need to grab something fast.
  • Cool Whip.Try this in vanilla flavor.
  • Honey.Drizzle honey all over the mini pumpkin cookies.

Why did my pumpkin cookies turn green? ›

A post on O Chef discusses the chemical reaction that turned my cookies green: All plants contain chlorogenic acid, mostly in the stems and leaves, but sunflowers also have it in the seeds. A spokeswoman for Red River Commodities says that SunButter does indeed turn cookies and other baked products green as they cool.

Why are my pumpkin cookies flat? ›

If your cookies repeatedly turn out flat, no matter the recipe, chances are your oven is too hot. Here's what's happening. The butter melts super quickly in a too-hot oven before the other ingredients have firmed up into a cookie structure. Therefore, as the butter spreads so does the whole liquidy cookie.

Why did my pumpkin pie not set up? ›

But the center may not have reached the temperature it needs to fully set. Another reason could be that the pie hasn't quite cooled enough before slicing. Pumpkin pie needs lots of time to cool and set before you can slice it.

Why is my pumpkin pie falling apart? ›

Eggs start to coagulate (turn solid) at 160°F (which is how they thicken the filling); but the longer they cook, the more they tighten up. Those cracks you see in your pie are the result of overcooked eggs, eggs that have tightened up so much, in an uneven way, that they've created fissures in the filling.

What happens if you forgot to put sugar in a cake? ›

But if you forgot the sugar in this step, all is not lost. Martina shares: “You can add the sugar in at any point during mixing. The resulting cake will still taste great but be slightly dense from the lack of air bubbles.” That may not be a bad thing, though.

Does pumpkin pie have a lot of sugar? ›

According to the USDA, a standard slice of pumpkin pie has 25g (over 6 teaspoons) of total sugar in it, most of which is added to the recipe in the form of brown or white sugar.
