Pumpkin Hershey’s Kiss Cookies

Pumpkin is a family favorite ingredient in so many recipes. Add a combo of spices and you have one amazing cookie. Pumpkin Hershey's Kiss cookies are the perfect cookie the whole family will love. Stick in the Hershey's Kiss and it's the perfect combo.

We love everything pumpkin when September rolls around. But really, these Pumpkin Hershey’s Kiss Cookies are great all year long. We stock up on canned pumpkin to get us through the whole year.

Our love for pumpkin runs deep. We love the taste of pumpkin blended with cinnamon in baked goodies. These cookies are great for a party, bbq, or family dinner.

There are few things we love as much as baking in the Fall. When the weather starts getting cooler, all we want to do is get cozy in some sweat pants and eat warm pumpkin treats. These cookies are perfect for that.

We made a few small changes from my Grandma’s Pumpkin Snickerdoodles and these babies were born!

other Hershey’s Kiss options

We added regular milk chocolate Herhey’s kisses to our Pumpkin Hershey’s Kiss cookies. But if you have a favorite Herhey’s Kiss and you feel it blends well with pumpkin flavor – go ahead and add it.

Here are a few Hershey’s Kisses that we think will go well with these cookies.

spices that go well with pumpkin recipes

These Pumpkin Hershey’s Kiss cookies are easy to tweak with spices to get the perfect flavor you love with your pumpkin. You can easily add the spices that you so often find in Pumpkin Pie.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Cinnamon
Allspice
Ginger
Nutmeg
Cloves
Pumpkin Pie Spice

We love pumpkin pie spice because it is the perfect blend of most of these spices in one container. But if you have a preference for a certain spice, add it in “to taste” and you’ll love these cookies.

We love the taste of these cookies with the amounts indicated in the recipe.

We think you will also love our Peanut Butter Cookie Cups. So easy and delicious!

how to make Pumpkin Hershey’s Kiss Cookies

The ingredients for these pumpkin cookies are simple ones you may already have on hand.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter, shortening, sugar, and brown sugar.
Then stir in pumpkin and egg.

In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
Add these dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls and roll into additional sugar.

Place dough on ungreased baking sheet (we lined ours with parchment paper) and bake for 7-9 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and gently press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.

Sounds yummy - will make this weekend. Do you use a pumpkin kiss?? I know they are out there but just wasn't sure. I didn't see mention of what type of kiss to use. I guess it doesn't matter!

  We used regular chocolate kisses, but pumpkin kisses would be so delicious!

When you're measuring the flour, are you spooning it into your one cup? I always spoon my flour in. Some of the sites just dip their one cup into their flour. My one cup is different than theirs

  Either way will work. We usually scoop the flour, tap the sides so it's all settled and fill it to the top.

Hi there! These look great! Question: is the non sweetened pumpkin purée something I find in a can at any local store?

  You can buy it at most grocery stores! It will also work with canned pumpkin too!

Hi, could I substitute gluten free flour mix?

  Hi Gail, we haven't tried it with gluten free flour mix. If you add it to other cookies, then it would probably work well in this recipe too.

?- The recipe says 'pumpkin pie puree', so I'm assuming it's not regular canned pumpkin, but pumpkin that's already had spices added to it????

  Pumpkin pie puree or pure pumpkin is just that...pure pumpkin with nothing added. If you choose to use pumpkin pie mix it contains a blend of spices and sugar, so you would not need to add the cinnamon. Pumpkin pie puree is blander than pumpkin pie mix in the can. Hope this helps!

  I would also add some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Some comments have said they need a little more flavor, so you may want to add a little extra spices.

Do I have to use half butter and half shortening? Couldn't I use all butter?

I just made these and I'm unhappy t reply that they are pretty much devoid of any flavor :( After the first 2 pans came out and I was unhappy, I added a couple tablespoons more of pumpkin and a splash of vanilla and the rest taste a little better.

  I agree with you. It makes me sad that they didn't taste like anything. Made them as part of my sisters bridal shower dessert table and no one even knew they had pumpkin in them. Im tweaking the recipe this week and trying again using more spices and the Lorann Pumpkin Pie Emulsion.

These look GREAT. They resemble the Peanut Blossoms (using peanut butter). But having a peanut allergy, I was never able to sample what I made. I'm still confused with the pumpkin puree. Is pumpkin puree the same canned stuff you make pumpkin pies with (Libby's brand for example), where you add the sugars, spices, evaporated milk, etc.? I've seen the other canned pumpkin stuff that you just add to the pie shell. Thanks.

  You can use either. It may have a little more flavor if you use the pumpkin pie canned pumpkin that has spices already added to it.

We are making these as teacher gifts for Thanksgiving so I wanted to make sure they turned out yummy. After reading the reviews I added the pumpkin pie spice to the ingredients while preparing and they turned out delicious. I could not stop eating them!

I made them but used pumpkin spice kisses. I had made a similar cookie earlier in the week and it came out great. I wanted to try a different recipe and used this one. Everyone hated them! They came out thick and dry. I added an 1/8tsp of ginger and 1/8tsp of ground cloves as several comments said they were lacking flavor. the taste was good, they were just too dry to enjoy. I should have just stuck to the same recipe I tried earlier :( waisted all those kisses :(
