The pumpkin spice season is bringing out the baker in me and Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Thumbprint Cookies is my second pumpkin-themed recipe for the blog!


To be honest, this is actually recipe but the second recipe, also a cookie recipe was such an epic fail, the entire batch went in the trash.


It takes a lot for me to throw away a cookie, but when my cookie-loving husband couldn’t even tolerate them, I knew it was bad. I think it hurt his heart a little to admit there was such a thing as a bad cookie.


Why am I telling you this? Because I’m in no way an expert chef! But I do like to create food that is both yummy and satisfying. Food blogging includes many trials and errors, and at times, the wasting of many ingredients.


However! When a recipe comes together like these keto pumpkin cheesecake thumbprint cookies, I can’t wait to share them with the world!


Besides the yummy goodness of these cookies, they are also super easy to make! For the cookie dough part, you simply dump all the ingredients into the bowl at once, wet and dry alike.

Then, simply beat with a hand mixer until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a nice dough.

Scoop cookie dough balls onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet using a 1-½ inch cookie scoop. Then, using your thumb, press a dent (or thumbprint) into the center of each cookie.

Mix the filling ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. Then spoon a dollop of the cream cheese filling into each of the cookie thumbprints.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 18-20 minutes, or until the cookie is browning and the cream cheese filling no longer jiggles.

Allow the cookies to cool for at least 20 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to allow the cookies to fully set.


Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for later.
