What You’ll Need
These pumpkin crinkle cookies are made with pumpkin puree plus basic pantry staples. See the recipe card below for measurements.
- Flour- You should use all-purpose flour for the best results.

- Salt- This will bring out the flavors in your recipe.
- Pumpkin pie spice- This will be used to give your recipe that classic pumpkin spice flavor.
- Light brown sugar- This will add richness to your recipe.
- Eggs– Use eggs that are at room temperature.
- Pumpkin puree- Be sure to use puree and not pumpkin filling. I like to use my homemade pumpkin puree.
- Vanilla extract- You should use pure vanilla for the best flavoring.
- Butter- You will use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Sugar- Every great dessert uses sugar in the recipe.
- Powdered sugar- You will use this sugar to roll the cookies in.
How to Make Pumpkin Crinkle Cookies
These easy fall cookies come together in just a few easy steps.
- Make the cookie dough. Whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla, followed by the butter. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Make the sugar mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining sugar and powdered sugar.
- Form the dough balls. Use a small ice cream scooper to form dough balls, then dip each one in the sugar mixture to completely coat. Place on baking sheets.
- Bake. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the cookies become puffy. Allow to cool completely.
Can I Make Crinkle Cookies Ahead of Time?
This crinkle cookie recipe can be made in under 15 minutes. Although, if you are in a rush or need to prepare ahead of time you can. The results for cookies are always best when made fresh, but just be sure to correctly store the dough before use.
Serving Suggestions
These pumpkin crinkle cookies are so delicious! They are so flavorful and do not need to be coated with anything. I like to serve them with a big glass of milk. But, if you want to add anything, you can make a simple vanilla or pumpkin icing.
