Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- In another bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
- Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie and add a dollop of the cheesecake filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers remain chewy.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
