Pumpkin Cookie Dough Bites

These little cookie dough bites are like taking a bite out of Autumn. It’s like Autumn just threw a party on your taste buds.

Cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg…and some pumpkin.

See what I mean…

Can you taste them yet?

There you go…

Get some made and enjoy all those flavors of fall in a small, guiltless bite of Pumpkin Pie Cookie Dough Bites!

Before we get to the recipe…an important note about one of the essential ingredients: the pure pumpkin puree. Not all canned pure pumpkin is the same consistency. If you are using a thicker pure pumpkin (like this organic brand), you’ll need to add a little extra butter and/or a few drops of milk to get the dough to the right consistency. If you are using a thinner pure pumpkin (like Libby’s), then you might need to add a teaspoon or two of flour and/or brown sugar. Because the dough doesn’t have raw eggs, you can taste test the dough before you chill it!
