Pumpkin is the flavor of the season, and this year I’ve been baking all kinds of pumpkin treats. My current favorite are these Mini Chocolate Pumpkin Cookie Bites—small, festive, and perfect for sharing at any autumn gathering.
To prepare the filling, beat together softened butter, marshmallow cream, canned pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice in a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add a few drops of orange food coloring and blend until the color is even. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, beating and scraping the bowl as needed to form a smooth, spreadable filling.
Assembling the bites is quick and simple. Place about a teaspoon of the pumpkin filling on the flat side of one Mini Double Chocolate Chip cookie, then top with another cookie and press gently to spread the filling. Repeat until all cookies and filling are used.
These cookie bites are an easy, crowd-pleasing fall dessert that look great on a party platter and are sure to impress guests. Try the recipe for your next autumn get-together!
