Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Cherry Pie Cookies Make pie cookies as directed above, using cherry filling instead of pumpkin filling. Make cherry filling by mixing 1/2 cup cherry preserves, 1/4 cup dried cherries and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  • tip 2
    For more pumpkin spice flavor, bump up the amount to ½ teaspoon.
  • tip 3
    For a dazzling final look, drizzle your finished pumpkin cookies with Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting.
  • tip 4
