Easy Pumpkin Drop Cookies
- Prep Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 8 minutes
- Total Time: about 1½ hours total
- Yield: 2 dozen 1x
Description
Nothings says fall quite like pumpkin. My Easy Pumpkin Drop Cookies are a delicious way to celebrate the season!
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar (I use light brown)
- 1 cup pumpkin (I used Libby’s, you will not need the whole can)
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (for easy clean up) or lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat your butter and brown sugar until nice and creamy. Next, beat in your pumpkin. Set aside.
- In a second mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, baking soda and pumpkin pie spice. Slowly beat this mixture into your pumpkin mixture. Do not over mix.
- Once your dough is combined, cover and refrigerate about an hour (so it’s easier to roll into balls).
- After an hour, roll out your dough into balls (a little smaller than golf ball size) and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Pop in the oven and bake about 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven and enjoy warm or room temp (or later, with a dollop of frosting!).

Hey shay If ai wanted time make your SAUSAGE TEX-MEX CORN CHOWDER but use ground turkey instead would it still be good? Should I do anything differently? Thanks
Mix and Match Mama says
I think you’ll just need to spice it up a bit. I would add a little more chili powder since you won’t be getting the extra flavor from the sausage.
Tyler says
Hey shay do you think I could use ground turkey in your moms meatloaf recipe? Would It work? Are good?
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!!! I think that recipe is perfect for a substitution like that!

Hey shay what do your kids typically order at restaurants? Do they each have a meal they typically get at any restaurant? (Example my son usually gets a hot dog no matter what restaurant) I was just curious since my son is this way.
Mix and Match Mama says
We always encourage them to get the cuisine of that particular restaurant. So, around here, there are a ton of Mexican restaurants, but on the kids’ menus they often have mac & cheese, chicken nuggets, etc, but we prefer they order a taco/enchilada/burrito/etc.

Did you guys ever reschedule the Hawaii trip you were planning but then changed your mind and went to Ireland?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s still on our list!! Good memory!!
Amie says
So we are currently living in a camper since our home flooded during Imelda. It’s just not practical to use the tiny oven in there but the stove top is fine. Do you have a recommendation on some type of pumpkin no bake recipe that I can make? I need my pumpkin dessert!! haha I always love making my pumpkin chocolate chip cookies but that won’t be happening for a while.
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh goodness, I’m so sorry about the flooding!! What about this: https://mixandmatchmama.com/2013/11/pumpkin-butterscotch-no-bake-pie/
Amie says
It’s totally ok! We are extremely blessed. There are so many people much worse off than we are. It’s a small inconvenience in the grand scheme of life 🙂
Thank you so much for the recommendation, sounds wonderful!!
Kelly says
Exactly how much pumpkin do you use for the cookies?
Mix and Match Mama says
Per the recipe, one cup is all you need.

Sorry typo
Have you ever booked a client to stay at the cabins at fort wilderness at Disney? Did they like it?
Mix and Match Mama says
All the time! It’s very popular. My clients always love it!
Stephanie F Sanders says
Do you think it would be ok to add some mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter?
Mix and Match Mama says
I never say no to chocolate chips 😉 . Yes! Add them!
Francine says
Hey shay What vegetable side would you serve with your SWISS STUFFED BURGERS?
Mix and Match Mama says
Corn on the cobb, grilled or roasted asparagus, a big salad…something like that.
Harriet says
Hey shay I wanted to share o make some sort of taco pasta dish this week and when going through your blog I found both TORTELLINI TACO BAKE and TACO TORTELLINI SKILLET. What is the difference they both seem so similar? Which do you prefer?
Harriet says
Also for your recipes that say to add taco seasoning do you add the amount of water it says on the package or leave it out?
Mix and Match Mama says
Only add water if the recipe calls for it.
Mix and Match Mama says
They’re both really easy! I’ve most recent made the skillet one, so that’s the one that pops up in my head for you to make!
