Step 1

Mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Prepare a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. In a small bowl, blend softened cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth using a hand mixer or whisk.

Step 2

In a big bowl, use a mixer at a fast speed to mix butter, brown sugar, and half a cup of granulated sugar until fluffy (about 1 minute). Mix in egg yolk and vanilla. Then add pumpkin puree and the flour mixture. Mix at a slow speed until just mixed. Cover the bowl with plastic and put it in the fridge. It should get cold, for at least 1 hour or even overnight.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix cream cheese and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar until smooth. Cover this bowl with plastic too. Chill it in the fridge, at least for 1 hour or can be overnight.

Step 4

Set your oven racks high and low; preheat oven to 350°. Get 2 baking sheets ready with parchment paper. 

Step 5

Make small balls from the dough. Make two balls flat like disks. Put 2 teaspoons of cheesecake filling on one disk using a spoon or piping bag. Cover with the other disk. Seal the edges by pinching and then gently roll it back into a ball.

Step 6

Put cinnamon sugar in a dish. Roll the ball in it and place it on the sheets. Do this with all the dough.

Step 7

Bake them. Swap sheets halfway through baking, until they’re golden brown and start to crack. After taking them out, hit the pan a few times on the counter to flatten the cookies a bit. Move them to a wire rack to cool down. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes for continued baking. Enjoy!
