Ingredient Notes
All other ingredients and measurements can be found in the recipe card towards the bottom of this post.
- Flour – Use All Purpose Gluten-Free flour if needed
- Oats. Old fashioned oats make the cookies have a wonderful texture,
- Pumpkin Pie Spice. You can also use apple spice if you aren’t a fan.
- Pumpkin Purée – Be sure you are using pumpkin puree made from 100% pumpkins. Do not use the pie filling!
- Sugar: This recipe calls for two types of sugar, powdered for the frosting and regular white sugar or coconut sugar for the cookie.
- Baking Powder.
- Egg
- Coconut Oil. I have only made this recipe with coconut oil, it offers the best flavor.
- Vanilla Extract. For extra flavor.
How To Make Pumpkin Pie Spice Cookies
- Step 1: In a bowl whisk the dry ingredients together.
- Step 2: Add the wet ingredients to the center of the mixed dry ingredients and mix with a spoon.
- Step 3: Form cookies into 1 inch balls on a parchment lined baking sheet or on the baking sheet directly. Set oven to 350. Bake for 12-14 minutes
- Step 4: Let cookies cool a bit (this will help them stick together, try not to touch them!) While cooling make the optional icing in a bowl. Add powdered sugar and water to form icing. Once cookies are fully cooled and stay together, gently dunk them into the frosting or drizzle the frosting over them.
Recipe Tips
- Don’t overcook! These cookies are wonderful when they are soft. Once they are out of the oven and cool, they will form together perfectly so try not to overcook them.
- Only put icing on once the cookies are cooled. This will ensure a pretty glazed topping and won’t wast the icing with it falling off the side.

Just saw these on the gram- sara.havens acct and I am so happy that I tried them…AMAZING!! Made them vegan and used Bobs Red mill egg replacer, Bobs gluten free flour 1 to 1 and they came out great!!!!!
Hi Patty! What a great idea to use Bob’s egg replacer. I will give that a try next time for sure. Thanks for coming back to let me know.
Delicious! I used coconut sugar, AP flour and chia egg and it worked perfectly 🙂 I also subbed the coconut oil for melted vegan butter. The batter came out much darker than those in Bailey’s photos but they still baked up nicely and tasted good. Would make again!
Hi Paige! So glad you enjoyed them. They were darker from the coconut sugar I bet, but boy do I love coconut sugar. Thanks for taking the time to come back and let me know!
