Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
    • Add powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the cookie dough.
  2. Make the Sugar Cookie Dough:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
    • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the egg and both extracts until well combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  3. Assemble the Cookies:
    • Take about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a teaspoon of the chilled cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the dough around it and roll it into a ball.
    • Roll the ball in the sugar and cinnamon mixture, then place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
