Fall is here, and with it comes all things cozy and comforting—sweaters, pumpkin spice, and of course, festive baking! One of my all-time favorite seasonal treats is the Pillsbury pumpkin sugar cookies. You know the ones: soft, buttery, and decorated with an adorable pumpkin design in the middle. While those pre-made cookies are convenient, nothing beats the taste and satisfaction of making your own from scratch. That’s why I’m excited to share this fun and festive copycat recipe for Pillsbury Pumpkin Sugar Cookies that you can make at home.
Why Make Them From Scratch?
While the store-bought version is convenient, making these cookies from scratch gives you control over the ingredients. By using organic butter, cane sugar, and unbleached all-purpose flour, you can ensure a wholesome and delicious treat for your family. Plus, you can customize the color and size of your pumpkin design, and there’s something incredibly satisfying about creating something so pretty!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
1 cup (226g) organic unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups (300g) organic cane sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional for extra flavor)
2 ½ cups (315g) organic unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
Orange and green food coloring (I used Watkins brand)
Here is an idea of how I roll my pumpkin into the dough!
Its adorable pumpkin design and deliciously soft texture have made it a seasonal favorite. But this year, why not try something new? Instead of reaching for a pre-made package, let’s recreate these cookies from scratch! Not only are they fun to make, but using simple, organic ingredients also brings a homemade charm that everyone will love. Ready to bake your way into fall? Let’s dive into this easy, festive recipe!
