Pumpkin Spice is definitely the craze for the fall season, so today I thought I’d indulge you with a pumpkin spice cookie recipe. These yummy peanut butter & pumpkin spice cookies are easy to make with only 4 ingredients, and are the perfect treat to enjoy this fall.

I must admit I’m not a huge pumpkin spice fan myself, but when I spotted some Pumpkin Spice baking morsels at the grocery store I decided I’d give them a whirl. I’m so glad I did! These tasty morsels are packed with pumpkin and cinnamon flavors, and I guarantee they will spice up your recipes during the fall season this year. To prove it, I added these pumpkin spice morsels to my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe, and the result is nothing less than awesome. Who knew peanut butter and pumpkin would make such a great pair? I can’t wait to share this yummy recipe with you today!

Here are the ingredients you will need for this recipe:

1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of white sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup of Pumpkin Spice Baking Morsels

Recipe directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix peanut butter, white sugar and egg together until well mixed.
Add pumpkin spice baking morsels and stir well.
Roll cookie dough into small balls (1 inch) and place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Use a fork to flatten balls slightly with a crisscross pattern.
Bake for 13-15 minutes.

These two tips are the most important advice I can give you when making these cookies.

Tip #1: Do not over bake these cookies. These cookies should be removed from the oven when the bottoms are slightly brown. They will still be soft and not set, but I promise you they will firm up as they cool…which leads to my next tip.

Tip #2: Let cookies cool completely until set. If you don’t cool them completely before moving they will fall apart. Trust me, it’s happened to me. I only move a cookie when it isn’t cool if I’m looking for an excuse to eat one.
