Pumpkin Sandwich Cookies image

Ah, pumpkin! Little sandwich cookies full of delicious, healthy spicy pumpkin & smooth & creamy cream cheese filling. Wonderful with a mug of hot cider (or even Recipe#235381 if you are staying home by the fire). Found in The Washington Post who adapted it from a Land O' Lakes recipe (mmmm butter). The cookie sandwiches be made assembled, covered and refrigerated for 3 days. Unfilled cookies can be cooled completely, individually wrapped with plastic wrap and frozen for a month. Defrost, still wrapped, for 30 minutes at room temperature before filling. The filling can be assembled and refrigerated up to to 4 days in advance. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before using. Makes 2 1/2 dozen bite-size sandwich cookies or about sixteen 2-inch sandwich cookies.

Time 55m

Yield 16-30 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar, packed
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (1 stick)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (100-percent pure)
1/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 -4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted plus more for optional dusting

Steps:

For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Have ready 2 ungreased baking sheets.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice blend, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
Combine the brown sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer; beat at medium speed for 3 minutes, until creamy. Stop to add the pumpkin puree, milk, egg and vanilla extract; beat on medium-low spead for 2 minutes, until all ingredients are incorporated. Reduce the speed to low; gradually add the flour mixture, beating until just combined.
Drop level tablespoonfuls of dough onto each baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart (the cookies do not spread much). Bake one sheet at a time, for 9 to 12 minutes or until set; they should spring back when lightly pressed. Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet; then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat to use all the dough, making a total of 60 cookies.
To make 2-inch cookies, drop 2-tablespoon amounts of dough on the sheets. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until set and springy to the touch. Cool as directed above; repeat to use all the dough, making a total of 32 cookies.
For the filling: Combine the cream cheese, butter, cinnamon and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat at medium speed 3 minutes until smooth, stopping often to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar, or up to 4 cups as needed, beating well after each addition until the mixture is creamy. (More sugar means a stiffer filling.).
Turn half the cookies flat-sides up. Spread each one with 2 teaspoons of the filling, then top with the remaining cookies. If desired, dust the tops of the cookies with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Tips:

Soften the butter and cream cheese to room temperature: This will make them easier to cream together and will result in a smoother cookie dough.
Don't overmix the cookie dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes: Chilling the cookie dough will help it hold its shape while baking.
Use a cookie scoop to drop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet: This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These fall pumpkin sandwich cookies are the perfect way to celebrate the fall season. They're easy to make and they're always a hit with family and friends. The pumpkin spice flavor is perfectly complemented by the cream cheese frosting. These cookies are sure to be a favorite for years to come.
