Pumpkin Cookie Pops Recipes

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, egg and flour until dough forms. Divide dough in half; shape each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
• Heat oven to 375°F. On lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter. On ungreased cookie sheet, place cutouts 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough and reroll scraps.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely.
• For each sandwich cookie, spread 1/3 cup ice cream on bottom of 1 cookie; press craft stick in center of ice cream. Top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press together. Press candy sprinkles into ice cream on edges. Wrap in plastic wrap; freeze 1 hour. Unwrap; decorate cookies with icing. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Rewrap in plastic wrap; store in freezer.

Steps:

• Whisk 1 cup canned pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup each sweetened condensed milk and half-and-half and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Freeze in ice pop molds.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. For the cake: Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sugars together. Stir in the milk and vanilla, and then add the oil. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and pour the liquid mixture over the dry mixture. Use a wooden spoon to stir the batter together, and then switch to a whisk and give the batter a good 3 or 4 beats before pouring it into the prepared baking dish. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out the batter and place it in the oven until the cake is golden and springs back to light pressure, 25 to 28 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely. Meanwhile, place the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast them until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a large plate to cool, then transfer to a cutting board and finely chop. Place the nuts in a medium bowl and set aside. Divide the cake into quarters and crumble it into a large bowl. Once all of the cake is crumbled, drag 2 forks through the cake in opposite directions to crumble it into a very fine crumb (you can also use a food processor to pulse the cake into fine crumbs). Set aside.
• For the frosting: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper and set aside. Using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until airy, about 3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir the cream cheese frosting into the cake crumbs and, once the mixture looks like wet graham crackers crumbs, roll it into ping pong-size balls. Place the cake balls on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Place the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt at 50-percent power, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes (or melt the chocolate over a double boiler, stirring often, until the chocolate is melted). Remove the cake balls from the freezer and insert a lollypop stick or small appetizer-length skewer into the top of each one (stick it in far enough so it is more than halfway through but doesn't puncture the other side of the ball). Dip each ball into the white chocolate, using a spoon to help coat the underside. Tap the stick against the side of the bowl a few times and swirl the stick to encourage the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Dip the top of the ball into the nuts, and then place the cake pop back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet, nut-side down (so the stick points straight up). Repeat with the remaining cake balls. Let the cake pops stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Serve that day or refrigerate for up to 3 days and then serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt.
• In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract until blended.
• Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat just until combined.
• Scoop the batter into 2-tablespoon scoops, at least 1 inch apart, onto the prepared sheets. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake one sheet at time until the cookies are puffed, set and spring back when gently pressed in the center, about 12 minutes. Repeat with the second sheet.
• Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
