Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• Cinnamon for sprinkling

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Whipped Cream

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the pumpkin puree and egg to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
8. While the cookies cool, prepare the whipped cream. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
9. Once the cookies are completely cooled, top each cookie with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming with the sugars.
• Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor and texture.
• Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be soft to the touch when you take them out of the oven.
• Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for added flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

• For a nutty twist, incorporate 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts into the dough.
• Add 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips for a sweet contrast to the spices.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

What to Serve With It

• A warm cup of spiced chai or pumpkin spice latte.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert pairing.
• A slice of apple pie for a classic fall dessert spread.
