Ingredients

• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops spring back lightly when touched. Do not overbake.

Step 7

Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, beating until the filling is smooth and spreadable.

Step 10

Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a layer of filling (about a tablespoon) on the flat side of one cookie.

Step 11

Top with a second cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

Step 12

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
