Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together sugar and softened unsalted butter until fluffy and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
- Next, beat in the egg and pumpkin puree until fully blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice—mixing until just combined.
- Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the pumpkin filling by mixing together pumpkin puree, a dash of pumpkin pie spice, and any additional sweetener if desired.
- Once baked cookies have cooled, assemble by spooning or spreading pumpkin filling onto one cookie and topping with another cookie.
- Finally, add a dollop of fresh whipped cream on top before serving.

Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator due to the pumpkin filling. They make an excellent treat for gatherings or cozy afternoons.
