My brother described it best when he tried one and described it as a great introduction to fall. It’s not overpowering- the pumpkin is not as strong as some other desserts, but it’s perfect! Chewy, dense, creamy, with just the right spices. It’s also great for when you have just a little pumpkin left at the bottom of the can after making another recipe. Don’t throw it out- use it for these delicious cookies! These are best served straight from the fridge, just like regular cheesecake. That means they’re perfect to make ahead and keep until you’re ready to serve or eat them.
Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature so they mix easily. They can be mixed by hand if everything is soft. They are coated in graham cracker crumbs that really give it that signature cheesecake flavor and if you want, you can add a little more pumpkin pie spice to that coating to enhance the pumpkin flavors.
