1 cup semisweet chocolate chips,1/2 cup heavy cream,1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

For Garnish (Optional):

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Then, mix in the pumpkin puree until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 7: Bake

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookie cups are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8: Make the Chocolate Ganache

While the cookie cups are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Add the pumpkin pie spice and let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 9: Fill the Cookie Cups

Once the cookie cups have cooled, use a spoon or piping bag to fill each cup with the chocolate ganache, allowing it to set slightly.
