Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2
Mix dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

3
Cream butter and sugar

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4
Add wet ingredients

Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.

5
Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

6
Form the cookies

Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Space them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon.

7
Bake the cookies

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

8
Make the filling

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

9
Assemble the cookies

Once cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down. Gently press together.

10
Chill the cookies

Place assembled sandwich cookies in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set the filling.

11
Serve

Bring to room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for best flavor. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
