  • 1 tablespoon molasses (15 ml) (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon whipping cream (or milk, if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the wet ingredients: Blend in pumpkin puree, molasses, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until well-incorporated.
  5. Fold in the dry ingredients gently until just combined.
  6. Stir in the oats until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Make the cream cheese filling by beating the softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar. Mix in vanilla extract, salt, and adjust with milk if needed.
  10. Assemble the cookies by spreading cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie and topping it with another.

Notes

Adjust powdered sugar in frosting for desired sweetness. Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting to maintain structure.
