How To Make Pumpkin Pie Cookies

Pumpkin Pie Cookies

To make the cookies:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Cream the butter, oil, sugar, and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake for 8-9 minutes, then let cool on the baking sheet.

To make the pumpkin pie filling:

  1. 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.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the cold whipped cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until you reach stiff peaks.
  3. 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.
  4. Top with whipped cream and enjoy!
