For the cookies:

- ⅓ cup oil vegetable or canola oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ⅓ cups flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt

For the pumpkin pie filling:
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened

- ⅔ cup heavy cream, cold
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

How To Make Pumpkin Pie Cookies
To make the cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream the butter, oil, sugar, and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, salt, and baking powder and mix until combined. Using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 9 equally-sized cookie balls, place them on the prepared baking sheet, and gently flatten them to about 1 inch in thickness. Then, using a ¼ measuring cup, press down the center of the cookie to make room for the pumpkin pie filling.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes, then let cool on the baking sheet.
To make the pumpkin pie filling:
- In a medium bowl, cream the cream cheese and brown sugar. Once smooth, mix in the pumpkin puree and the pumpkin spice. Add a little gel food coloring and mix. Don't worry if it's looking very orange.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold whipped cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until you reach stiff peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully combined. Transfer to a bag with a large piping tip. Pipe a big dollop of pumpkin pie filling in the center of each cookie. Gently pick up the cookies and tap them on the counter to spread the filling.
- Top with whipped cream and enjoy!
