  • ¼ cup brown sugar (56g)
  • pinch of 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.
  2. Prepare the cookie dough: Whisk flour, pumpkin spice, and salt. Cream together cream cheese, butter, and sugars. Add egg yolk and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture.
  3. Prepare the filling: Combine all filling ingredients.
  4. Fill and bake the cookies: Roll dough into balls, coat in sugar, place on sheet. Press a well in each cookie, fill with prepared filling. Bake for 14-17 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • To create a well in the cookie dough ball, you can use the bottom of a plastic medicine cup. Add whipped cream only to cookies intended for immediate serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer storage. Cookies can be frozen in an airtight container with wax paper between layers.
