These pumpkin filled cookies are a real treat during Fall and pumpkin season, and the kiddies will absolutely love them. I’ve made the filling with homemade whipped cream and pumpkin pie filling, which is a cinch to make, and it’s so light and fluffy. Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter -soft
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 cup 35% whipping cream
4 tbsp icing sugar
1 can pumpkin pie filling
Tip: Always use soft butter when you're making cookies. If the butter is too hard, it won't cream together nicely with the sugar. I also find that if the butter is too hard, you'll end up with a firmer dough instead of one that's soft. Even when my butter is at room temperature, I'll put it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds, depending on how cool my house is.
Directions
- Cream the butter using an electric mixer on medium-low speed.
- Add in the sugars and cream together on medium-low speed.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix together on low speed.
- Put the flour and the baking powder into a sifter.
- Gradually sift and cut the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Using a tbsp measuring spoon, measure a tbsp of cookie dough. I like to use a cookie scoop.
- Place on the parchment paper and continue until 1/3 of the dough has been scooped.
- Bake for 13-14 minutes.
- Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool.
- Continue with the remaining cookie dough.
- Using an electric mixer, whisk the whipping cream and the icing sugar together on low speed, working your way up to high speed until soft peeks form. Fold in 2/3 cup of pumpkin.
- Put the filling in a piping bag.
- Pipe some filling on one side of a cookie and top with another cookie.
Make pumpkin muffins or a pumpkin loaf
You won't use up all the pumpkin pie filling, so put the leftover pie filling to good use and make a batch of pumpkin muffins or a pumpkin loaf. Both are perfect for breakfast, which is always my go-to, but they also make a great evening snack if you're looking to nibble on something with your evening tea.
