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.
