Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease baking sheets.
 - In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
 - Beat sugar and butter with mixer, then blend in pumpkin, egg, and vanilla.
 - Gradually mix in flour and dry ingredients.
 - Refrigerate dough for a few hours, then form dough into one inch balls. Or if you don’t want to wait, I like to spoon the sticky cookie dough unrefrigerated into a large ziplock bag with a large round tip and then pipe the dough onto the cookie sheets
 - Bake for 10 minutes. Cool before filling.
 
Cream Cheese Filling
- Blend the cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
 - Slowly add the powdered sugar, and then the vanilla.
 - Add the heavy cream and whip until fluffy.
 - I also use a piping bag and tip to fill the cookies.
 - Keeps best when refrigerated until serving.
