Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, portion batter onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly pressed. Cool completely.
  7. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
  8. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract.
  9. Pipe or spread filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.
  10. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of allspice to the batter.
  • Chill the filling for 15 minutes before piping for a firmer texture.
  • To freeze, wrap each pie individually and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
  • Use a gluten-free flour blend for a GF version.
