Delightful cookies filled with a spiced cream filling, perfect for fall gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy in another bowl.
- Add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined—don’t overmix!
- Scoop tablespoon-sized rounds onto the baking sheets, giving them some space to spread.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool completely.
- Beat together powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth while the cookies cool.
- Dollop a spoonful of filling on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie, pressing gently.
