• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. Mix well until smooth and well combined.

5. Drop tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
8. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy and smooth.
9. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
10. Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto the bottom side of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie.
