Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Prepare the cookie dough:

  1. 1

    Whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, butter and sugars. Beat on medium-high until the mixture is fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and blend again. Add the egg yolk and vanilla. Blend until incorporated.

  2. 2

    Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Fold a few times with a spatula to ensure there are no dry pockets left. The mixture will be thick.

Prepare the filling:

  1. 1

    Combine all the filling ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk until blended. Set aside.

Fill and bake the cookies:

  1. 1

    Roll the dough into 2 tablespoon balls (36g each) using a medium cookie scoop. Roll each dough ball in coarse sugar to coat. Place on the prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Continue until the cookie sheet is filled.

  2. 2

    Using a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon, press down on the dough balls to create a well in the center of each cookie. Fill each well with 1 tablespoon of the prepared filling.

  3. 3

    Bake for 14 to 17 minutes or until the cookies are set and the bottom is light golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Repeat with remaining cookie dough ensuring the cookie sheet is cooled before adding the dough balls.

  5. 5

    When ready to serve, pipe or dollop whipped cream on top each cookie (optional). Sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon and enjoy.
