Reece’s Pieces Pumpkin Cookies Tips:
The batter is very sticky
This is not your typical cookie batter: it will be very sticky and that’s okay! No need to add more flour… nor did you do anything wrong! Keep on following the recipe and you’ll get the tastiest pumpkin cookies out there!
A Cakier Cookie
Speaking of consistency, this cookie will also turn out more “cakey” than traditional cookies. You’ll find that it’s softer and less chewy – but the texture really matches its flavor!
If you love a softer, larger cookie, then our Reese’s Pieces Pumpkin Cookies are definitely for you!
Use a Cookie Scoop
Because the cookie batter to our pumpkin cookies are on the stickier side, it’s best that you use a cookie scoop when placing them on your parchment-lined cookie sheet. We recommend going for a scoop that holds 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter for the perfect cookie size!
If you don’t have a cookie scoop, then you can use a drop spoon method where you use two spoons to scoop and then plop them down on your baking pan. Be sure that your cookie mounds are about 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
