Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups (284g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (96g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (170g) pumpkin puree
  • 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
  5. Mix in the pumpkin puree until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Using a cookie scoop, scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten slightly. Place 1/2 teaspoon of cream cheese filling in the center, then top with another tablespoon of dough. Pinch the edges to seal and shape into a ball.
  9. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are set and tops look dry.
  11. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Chill the dough if it becomes too soft to handle when assembling the cookies.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
