⅓ cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
½ cup whipped cream or topping of choice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin generously.
2. Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls and press into muffin tin wells, creating space in the center.
3. Bake cookie cups for 10–12 minutes until golden.
4. Remove from oven and immediately press the centers down again to form wells. Let cool slightly.
5. In a bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg, evaporated milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
6. Spoon or pipe filling into cookie cups, nearly to the top.
7. Return to oven and bake for another 10–12 minutes until filling is set.
8. Let cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
10. Serve or refrigerate until ready to enjoy!
Notes
Let the cookie shells cool slightly before filling to avoid sogginess.
For best results, pipe the whipped cream just before serving.
Use a tart press or small spoon to evenly shape the cookie wells for uniform results.
