Ingredients
Scale
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to make a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
Notes
Store the cream pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
For added flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
These pies can be frozen for up to three months; just thaw before serving.
