Seeing as how it’s officially October (crazy!!), I think it’s high time I busted out some new<\/a> pumpkin<\/a> recipes<\/a>. I’m actually a little behind this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, I get into the pumpkin spirit as soon as the calendar turns September, but we were moving at the time and I didn’t have enough foresight to fill my backlog with pumpkin recipes. Poor planning on my part, but I do have at least two pumpkin spice recipes coming at you this year. Maybe more if I can swing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my first pumpkin recipe of the year, I bring you these delicious Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cookie Cups!

I’ve noticed it’s become a trend in recent years to bash all things pumpkin spice. I’m not really sure where all this hate came from, or why. There are likely more important things to focus one’s energy on than hating pumpkin spice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it’s the summer-lovers who are none too thrilled about their favorite season coming to a close, so they look for something to take out their anger on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I, on the other hand, welcome Fall and all things pumpkin with open arms. It is, after all, the best<\/em> season of the entire year. Amiright?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My inspiration for these Pumpkin Spice Cookie Cups was a mini pumpkin pie, but I wanted to mix it up a bit with a rich chocolatey cookie base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chocolate cookie cups pair surprisingly well with the pumpkin pudding filling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have noticed that I have an ever-growing cookie<\/a> cup<\/a> collection<\/a>. I am a huge fan and, judging by the response, it seems that you guys like them too! They are really fun and easy to make. Portable, bite-sized deliciousness. What’s not to love??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve already got holiday themed<\/a> cookie cups in mind, so watch for those in the weeks to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin Pudding Filling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The pumpkin filling in these cookie cups is not completely from scratch. I usually bake from scratch, but sometimes it’s just easier to whip out a box for something, whether it’s a cake<\/a>, cookie<\/a>, or the filling for these Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cookie Cups, which incorporates modified instant pudding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would rather not use instant mix, you can make your own pudding at home and add in the pumpkin puree and spice. Not quite as easy, but just as delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chewy chocolatey cookies paired with delicious pumpkin pudding. If you are a pumpkin spice fan like me, you will love these Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cookie Cups!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
