Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar unpacked
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1 package Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 egg
  • Cinnamon sugar and pumpkin pie spice to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees {F}.
  2. Filling: Mix pumpkin, brown sugar, spices, heavy cream and pecans in a bowl until well combined.
  3. Unroll the pre-made dough on a flat, floured surface. Using your desired cookie cutter, cut out an even amount of shapes. Continue to roll the dough out and cut until you use up your pie crust.
  4. Prep the cookie sheet by covering with parchment paper.
  5. Place half the dough shapes onto the parchment paper and add about a tablespoon of filling to the middle of each shape. You want to leave enough space around the edges to combine with the top pie crust piece.
  6. Place the top pie crust piece on top and press together with your fingers to connect. Use a fork to make a pretty edge but ensure a good seal.
  7. Whisk one egg in a small bowl and brush on top of the dough to get a beautiful golden color. Lastly, sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
