Ingredients

For the cookie dough:

  • 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour (337g)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 oz cream cheese, room temperature (86g)
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (6oz)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (110g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed (112g)
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup coarse sugar for rolling (78g)

For the pumpkin filling:

  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (56g)
  • pinch table salt
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • ¼ cup whole milk (2oz)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (122g)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Prepare the cookie dough: Whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, and sugars. Add egg yolk and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture.
  3. Prepare the filling: Whisk together all filling ingredients.
  4. Fill and bake the cookies: Roll dough into balls, coat with coarse sugar, place on the cookie sheet, press down to create a well, fill with the prepared filling, and bake.
  5. When ready to serve: Add whipped cream on top of each cookie and enjoy!

Notes

  • To make the well in the cookie dough ball, you can also use the bottom of a plastic medicine cup.
  • Only add whipped cream to the cookies you plan to serve immediately.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerate for longer storage. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
  • Freeze well sealed in an airtight container. Use wax paper between cookie layers.
