Single Serve Jumbo Pumpkin Cookie (Copycat Crumbl Recipe)

This fluffy and chewy giant cookie is simple to make take less than 20 minutes to mix and bake. It is coated in cinnamon sugar to give the cookie a snickerdoodle flavor vibe.

If you know anything about me, you must know that I love a good single serve dessert recipe. And this single serve jumbo pumpkin cookie is like a snickerdoodle who met a pumpkin cake and had a fling with a jumbo pumpkin whoopee pie. Sounds like a lot but I promise you this cookie has little bit for everyone in it. Chewy, soft, fluffy and sugary – not to mention PACKED with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice. Also, my homemade pumpkin spice blend will sort you out for the season.

Now this is very similar to a crumbl cookie I saw on TikTok as we don’t have Crumbl in the UAE I thought it was only fitting to recreate the cookie but with a single serve twist because honestly sometimes you just need to make, bake and eat one cookie.

How to make this single serve jumbo pumpkin cookie?

Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside. In a small mixing bowl add the brown butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla and stir until smooth. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice and stir until combined. The dough will seem sticky which is fine. In another bowl add the cinnamon powder and sugar, stir until combined. Scoop the soft dough into your hands and create a rough ball, drop into he cinnamon sugar and roll around until coated. Transfer to the lined baking tray and bake in the oven for 14 minutes or until risen, dry to the touch on the outside and if you press it – the cookie is still soft. Allow to cool on a wire rack and serve warm with a glass of cold milk.

Serving and storing this single serve jumbo pumpkin cookie?

The best way to serve this cookie is warm, fresh out of the oven. It is delicious on its own but you can make it a dessert and serve it with vanilla ice cream. Alternatively instead of making 1 jumbo cookie you can make 2 smaller cookies and bake them for 12 minutes, add ice cream into the center and make an ice cream sandwich. Pair it with a glass of cold or my pumpkin spice latte or any tea of your choice. Single serve recipes most often than not have no leftovers which means there shouldn’t be any storage but if you don’t finish the cookie in one sitting then store the cookie in a zip lock bag at room temperature up to 3 days.
