Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Whipped Cream

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the pumpkin puree and egg to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cookies cool, prepare the whipped cream. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
9. Once the cookies are cooled, top each with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
• Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
• Don’t overmix the dough; mix until just combined to keep the cookies tender.
• Keep an eye on your cookies while baking; they should be set but not overly browned.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the cookie dough for extra texture.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier cookie.
• For a little extra spice, add a pinch of cloves or allspice to the dough.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce instead of whipped cream for a different twist.

What to Serve With It

• A hot cup of spiced chai or apple cider.
• Vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperature.
• A cozy pumpkin latte for the ultimate fall experience.
• A simple fruit salad to balance the sweetness.
