Servings 36 cookies

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 8 ounces pure pumpkin (not pie filling) canned
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • cups all-purporse flour
  • 3 T baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling cookies in

Instructions

  • Beat cream cheese, butter, pumpkin, sugars, and vanilla until smooth. Add egg until just combined.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and spices.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
  • Chill dough for at least one hour in the freezer. When ready to bake, preheat oven at 350°F.
  • Roll dough into 1" balls and roll the dough balls around in powdered sugar until covered.
  • Place a few inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, until barely set, being very careful not to overbake. They will continue cooking on the cookie sheet once out of the oven.
