One of my absolutely favorite Crumbl cookies is the Cinnamon Swirl one, so obviously, I had to recreate their version of that cinnamon roll cookie but in pumpkin. A cookie that they had last year but haven’t brought back yet. Fingers crossed it comes back soon because it’s amazing!
This Crumbl copycat recipe consists of a chewy pumpkin cookie base that is topped with cinnamon brown sugar streusel-topped then baked to perfection before getting a generous swirl of homemade cream cheese frosting on top.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ
How to store pumpkin cinnamon roll cookies?
You can store these cookies in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Cream cheese frosting can be left outside for a little while because the sugar content will help preserve it but if the temperature gets too hot, it can spoil so it is preferable not to risk it.
If you would like to keep your cookies at room temperature, keep them unfrosted and frost them whenever you’re ready to enjoy them!
Can I freeze Crumbl pumpkin roll cookies?
You sure can!
You can place these on a baking sheet and freeze them for a few hours before transferring them to an airtight container and freezing them again for up to 1 month. Make sure to let them thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying them.
Can I make catering sized pumpkin cinnamon roll cookies?
Absolutely!
I totally understand that not everyone wants to make giant cookies and that’s why I have a plan of action for you.
Instead of making 8 cookies, you will need to split each cookie dough ball in half, making 16 smaller cookies.
To bake these catering-sized Crumbl cookies, you’ll have to reduce the baking time to 9-10 minutes!

How to store pumpkin roll cream cheese cookies?
You can store these cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Because they have cream cheese frosting it’s better not to leave them out at room temperature. If you do prefer to leave them out at room temperature though, you can leave them unfrosted in an airtight container, and then whenever you’re ready to enjoy them frost them and enjoy!Nutrition

comes out cake like. I double the spice and used 1 1/2 cup of pumpkin and add 1/4 cup of flour. Also use a piping bag and did a circle for the strudel topping. 12 minutes baking was perfect.
Personally, I liked the pumpkin caramel copycat cookies better but these were still delish. I had fun making these cookies and they were so easy. The family loved them for our Christmas dessert!
Last cookie of the day ( yes today was baking day lol) these tasted just like a pumpkin roll loved the cinnamon flavor on top of the nice smooth pumpkin cookie very delicious cookie. This were actually my husbands favorite cookie out of all of the ones I tried today. His favorite dessert is pumpkin roll so I would say your recipe is spot on ..
Some of the most addicting cookies I’ve made yet! Can’t wait to make more this month, I think I’ll try splitting them in half!
I’m so glad to hear that!!!
Just finished these and the texture is perfect, but the flavoring fell flat as far as pumpkin goes 🙁 I followed the recipe exactly and although it has a great flavor overall, it is more of a basic sugar cookie flavor with a HINT, and I mean, just a hint of pumpkin… like, it showed up to the party, but wasnt sure it was invited so it stood across the street instead of going to the door, hint of pumpkin.
As the recipe was easy to follow along and the texture very good, I am going to try this recipe again, but at least doubling up the pumpkin puree AND the spice, and will adjust flour as needed to get correct texture.
Thank you for trying out the recipe!
So good and so quick and easy! Great recipe and will definitely make again 🙂
So happy to hear that!
