  • Total Time: 42 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Cookie Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Filling Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy to ensure a perfect cookie texture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the large egg until fully incorporated, then mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniformly orange.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a cohesive cookie dough forms.
  5. Shape and Bake Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack to prevent the filling from melting.
  7. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip together softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Assemble Pies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of pumpkin cream filling on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie to form a cream pie.

Notes

  • Ensure cookies are completely cool before filling to prevent melting the cream cheese filling.
  • Store assembled cream pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
  • For a firmer filling, chill the cream cheese mixture before assembling.
  • You can substitute old-fashioned oats with quick oats but texture will be slightly softer.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned pure pumpkin – avoid pumpkin pie filling with added spices or sugars.
