Pumpkin Pie Cookies

With Halloween, football, Thanksgiving, and crisp weather, fall is definitely my favorite time of year! I like putting pumpkin into everything to turn it into a seasonal dish. Last year's pumpkin shortage was so difficult!

 

I needed a portable pumpkin pie to pack in my lunch, and this is what I came up with. I took a pumpkin cookie base and stirred in white chocolate chips for added sweetness along with graham cracker pieces to mimic a crust and add texture. The result was a thick, dense, satisfying cookie that goes perfectly with a cup of hot cider.

 

I hope you enjoy this fall treat! Happy Thanksgiving!
