This great recipe is extremely easy to make and uses simple ingredients that can be found at most grocery stores. And while they may be similar to different things you make during other seasons, these pumpkin cookies have a little bit of a twist.

Recipe Notes:

  • If you prefer not to use parchment paper, you can coat your cookie sheet well with nonstick cooking spray or use a silicone mat. 
  • You can use a stand mixer or a handheld mixer to combine the cookie batter, but you will want to use a mixer. Stirring with a spoon or rubber spatula won’t typically combine this batter well enough. 
  • These cookies will spread while baking, so make sure you leave about 2-inches between each pumpkin cookie dough ball.

How To Store Leftover Pumpkin Caramel Cookies With Toffee

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week.

Can I Add Anything Else To These Delicious Cookies? 

Yes! If you are a fan of chocolate chip cookies, the easiest thing to add is chocolate chips. That would give you a delicious pumpkin cookie with chocolate, caramel, and toffee.

This might be too much sweetness for some people, so try the original recipe the first time and add your chocolate chips next time. Then you can compare and choose your favorite.

Can I Use Wrapped Caramels In This Recipe?

If you are in a situation where you can’t find caramel bits or caramel chips at your grocery store, you can cut up caramel candies into small pieces.

That said, if you have the choice between all of them, use the caramel bits. While all of these options are similar, a piece of caramel that you’ve sliced will lead to a more gooey caramel cookie, which may not be what you’re looking for. 

Can I Turn This Into A Pumpkin Spice Caramel Cookie Recipe? 

Yes! If you are looking for the pumpkin spice flavor that you might find at a Crumbl Cookies location, you can easily turn these into pumpkin spice cookies. 

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice into the dry mixture and combine everything from there. An excellent option for when you have a pumpkin spice craving!
