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.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ
How to store these pumpkin pie cookies?
These cookies need to be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Can I freeze Crumbl pumpkin pie cookies?
You can freeze these cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Once you’re ready to enjoy them thaw them in the fridge overnight or on the counter for a few hours and enjoy!
It is very important to flash freeze your cookies before transferring them to an air-tight container so that the filling doesn’t stick to the other cookies. Place wax paper or parchment paper in between to keep them from sticking.
When you are ready to enjoy them, thaw them on a flat surface.
How to make smaller Crumbl pumpkin pie cookies?
If you want to make smaller cookies, instead of baking 9 large cookies, make 18 smaller ones and bake them for 6-7 minutes. Fill them as you would the large ones.

I used a 3 Tablespoon scoop and got 11 cookies out of the dough. I also baked these for 17 minutes until they were golden brown around the edges so they were completely done in the middle and firm enough to hold up to the filling. I didn’t use any food coloring and thought they looked just as pretty without any un-natural dye. I was a little nervous about the dough at first, as it seemed pretty delicate, but after the cookies were completely done and embellished my husband tried one…he said these cookies are better than pumpkin pie…it’s a keeper!
Very happy to hear!
These were so AMAZING! Everyone loved them and they taste just like a pumpkin pie! I opted to make 18 smaller cookies rather than 9 large cookies, and I would tell anyone doing the same to cut the pumpkin filling in half. I still had some leftovers of it (which, no complaints here!) but if you don’t want extra pumpkin filling, cut it in half!
I was wondering, how many gr/oz does the butter stick weights? I can’t decide either to use a small stick o a large one, thank you!!
113 grams is a stick of butter 🙂
Girl these were SO good. Definitely better than Crumble
Thank you so much!!
Made these for a Friendsgiving dinner and they were a huge hit. Will definitely be making them again!
I’m so glad to hear that!!
Can I switch the flour for gluten free ?
You can as long as you use a gluten-free flour blend that includes a binding ingredient like xanthan gum.
Huge hit! These cookies were super moist & very delicious! I will definitely make them again! Store in tight container on counter. Cookies came out soft, but moist just like they should me. The filling was wonderful pumpkin taste to it! The whole recipe was spot on flavor, taste & all! 5 stars!
Thank you so much!
