Pumpkin Pie Thumbprint Cookies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

You need a batch of Pumpkin Pie Thumbprint Cookies in your life. These lightly sweet shortbread cookies filled with spiced pumpkin were inspired by Pop Tarts. Pull up a chair, and I’ll tell you why.

Pumpkin Pie Thumbprint Cookies - These simple, lightly sweet cookies taste like Fall! I know I’ve told you a whole bunch of times that my kids (and now my cat!) wake up early. Really early. Lately it has been taking its toll on me. I can get by on 5 or 6 hours of sleep for a day or two, but when it’s interrupted sleep and goes on for several days, I turn into a mess. I feel grumpy, teary, and sleepy all at the same time and am desperate for a nap all day. The trouble is, I have too much to do to nap, so I keep pushing on through the sleep deprivation as best I can. Pumpkin Pie Thumbprint Cookies - These simple, lightly sweet cookies taste like Fall! By Friday of last week, I knew I needed to catch up on sleep a bit. Sleeping in on Saturday sounded dreamy, and by sleeping in, I mean staying in bed past 7 am. My boys are 7 and 3, so I decided they could fend for themselves one morning. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for them to be self sufficient for a couple hours, so I bought a rare treat: Pop Tarts. These weren’t just any old Pop Tarts mind you but Limited Edition Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts! Pumpkin Pie Thumbprint Cookies - These simple, lightly sweet cookies taste like Fall! On Friday night, I coached my oldest about getting his little brother to the bathroom, feeding the cat, distributing Pop Tarts, and watching cartoons the next morning. I asked them to let me sleep until the decadent hour of 7:30am. It worked! Mostly. There were some unfortunate cat interruptions, but the kids didn’t come get me until 7:05, surely a record at our house. Once I got up, I looked at that box of pumpkin Pop Tarts enviously. I wanted one of those “breakfast pastries” (that aren’t at all like cookies) so badly I could taste it, except I couldn’t actually taste it, which was the sad part. Since they are made with wheat and wheat and I broke up a few months ago, all I could do was stare at that colorful box while eating some gluten-free cereal. Pumpkin Pie Thumbprint Cookies - These simple, lightly sweet cookies taste like Fall! Then I got the idea that I could make my own pumpkin Pop Tarts! Then I felt a little baffled about how to easily make them wheat free, and my friend Paula from Call Me PMc already did Homemade Pumpkin Pop Tarts last fall. After some day dreaming about pumpkin, I came up with this thumbprint cookie idea. I made mine with spelt flour, which is my baking BFF, but you could use regular flour if you can eat wheat like a normal person. I hope you enjoy these pumpkin cookies as much as we did. I dare say they are even better than Pop Tarts!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. With an electric mixer or vigorously by hand, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and 1/3 c. sugar until fluffy. Blend in egg and vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour and baking powder until dough forms.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together all pumpkin filling ingredients until well combined.
  4. Using a medium disher or heaping tablespoon, place balls of dough about 2" apart on prepared baking sheets. Press the back of a round teaspoon measuring spoon into each ball to flatten the cookie a bit and leave an indentation. (You can spray the measuring spoon with cooking spray a couple times during this process if the spoon sticks to the dough.)
  5. Fill the indentations with pumpkin filling. (You will probably have some filling leftover, which you could stir into pancake or waffle batter within a day or so if you like.)
  6. Bake cookies in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until bottoms are a little brown and filling has set. The pumpkin will remain soft, but a toothpick inserted in the filling will come out mostly clean.
  7. Cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
Recipe Notes

I prep the second sheet of cookies while the first one bakes, but if you choose to bake both baking sheets at once, rotate them halfway through to ensure even baking.

    My birthday, my father’s birthday, and my mother in laws birthday are all within 5 days of each other…and always land right at father’s day weekend. We started hosted a big Father’s Day Birthday Bash for both sides of my family at our house every year. It’s a lot of work since it is always at least 25 people (and that’s just when it’s all direct family) but this way everyone gets celebrated with no hurt feelings.

    For my birthday I usually go out to dinner once with just my husband and I usually go out once with my Mom and other family members. My birthday is ten days after Christmas, so I don’t really do a lot of celebrating. We also try to go away for a long weekend around my birthday, somewhere within driving distance (like St Augustine, FL or Sarasota, FL).

    I celebrate my birthday by eating food I like. :) I live in a large house with lots and lots of little boys, who find my vegetarian and healthy inclinations apocalyptic and somewhat freakish. So, on my birthday, my mother makes me whatever food I want, which usually consists of a waffle or pancake with chia seeds or something else healthy for breakfast, a salad or sammich for lunch with my favorite fruit, and whatever suits my fancy for dinner (it changes every year- last year I had Whole Wheat Rigatoni with greens for dinner- it was delish and super fast) and usually a Key Lime Pie for dessert (I’m kind of boring that way). It’s the thing I’ll probably miss the most as I head off to college.

    My birthday is the day after my grandmas so mine has never really been celebrated. We would always focus on hers and not the last 4 years since she’s been gone and we could focus on mine it’s too much to deal with as we are focusing on it being hers and her not being her to celebrate with any longer. We always shared the same cake so I never even had my own cake. My b/day is also June 14th so it’s also the Army’s birthday so I get to celebrate with some of the most awesome men and women on the planet…along with one of the best role models ever (my grandma).

      Hi, Renee. That must be hard to celebrate your birthday now that your grandma is gone since the two of you always celebrated together. I hope each year gets a little easier and you can start to enjoy your cake!

    I’d like to make these cookies and send them to my grandmother. Do you think they’d be okay after three or four days in the mail?

      Hi, Nancy! I think they should be OK. I would pack them with long-lasting ice packs and send them Priority Mail, so they would probably get to where they are going in a couple days and still taste fresh.

      That sounds good, Kiki! This year my husband’s birthday was on a Tuesday, so we had little celebrations the weekend before and after and on the day of. I like making it a week-long event!

    I think I tasted a pop tart once???? But I know I love shortbread cookies and pumpkin. I also love to make thumb print cookies. This is a new one for me. I pinned it.

      I grew up eating unfrosted Pop Tarts toasted with a little butter spread on top. So. Good. It’s hard to even find the unfrosted ones anymore! Homemade cookies are better for me anyway :)

    This is such a great idea Andi! I’m totally giggling at the idea of you pouring milk on your gluten free cereal while you eye the poptarts. So sad! Great solution :)

      Thanks, Karen! I’m glad the gluten free cereal scene sounded as pathetic as I intended ;)

    I haven’t done anything too major for my birthday in a long time. I usually spend it with loved ones and eat cake. Thank you for the great cookie recipe. I know someone who is going to LOVE these! :)

    Birthdays are a crap shoot for me. Sometimes we go camping, if it falls on Memorial Day weekend. Otherwise we don’t do anything too special.
