The Best Crumbl Pumpkin Pie Cookies (2024)

Published on November 23, 2022 by Chahinez 21 Comments

Every year around this time, Crumbl brings out their popular pumpkin pie cookie and I am 100% here for it because pumpkin pie has become my love language the second I moved into the US!

It is soft and melts in your mouth with the most luscious and smooth pumpkin pie frosting. Let me tell you that when you make this, you will not be able to stop at just a few bites. They are DELICIOUS, and they probably will be on my Thanksgiving dessert table this year!

This is the best pumpkin pie cookie recipe ever!

I tried baking the pumpkin pie filling into my cookie but because the cookie base is so soft, the filling ended up sinking into the cookie.

It still tasted incredible but I didn’t want a cookie without enough filling so I ended up going a different route.

To be honest, I’m glad I did because the texture contrasts were absolutely delicious! A soft cookie, with a mousse-like filling, truly can’t go wrong with this cookie, especially around this time of year.
