Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups dark brown sugar 12oz/340g
  • 1 ½ cups Pumpkin Puree 12oz/340g
  • 1 cup vegetable oil 8floz/240ml
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour 15oz/426g
  • 1 tablespoon Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ recipe Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, Pumpkin Puree, oil, eggs and vanilla extract until well blended.
  • In a separate medium bowl, evenly stir together the flour, Pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt, and then mix this with the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • With a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, pipe about 2 tablespoon-sized mounds of batter about 3 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for about 10-15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the cookies feel firm and turn golden. Let cool for several minutes on the baking sheets before transferring the cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat piping and baking the cookies if you have any batter remaining.
  • Once the cookies have cooled completely, turn half of the cookies over so the bottoms are facing up.
  • With a piping bag or offset spatula, spread about 2-3 tablespoons of Cream Cheese Frosting frosting on the bottoms of the cookies and then sandwich the cookies with the unfrosted halves.
  • These cookies are best served the day they are made. If there are leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
