How to Make Pumpkin Spice Sandwich Cookies

Step 1:

Start by preheating the oven to 350F.

Step 2:

In the bowl of your stand mixer, add the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until creamy for about 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides.

Step 3:

Add the pure pumpkin puree and vanilla. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 4:

In a mixing bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin spice mix, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Step 5:

Add all the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Start mixing at low speed, then turn to high until well combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides.

Step 6:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make the cinnamon-sugar mixture by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 7:

Using a size 24 scoop, scoop the mixture and place in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and flatten using your fingers to a 1/2″ thickness. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Make sure they are spaced evenly.

Step 8:

Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them. Once done baking, let them cool.

Step 9:

Make the cream cheese frosting.

Step 10:

In a clean bowl, add the softened butter, cream cheese, pure pumpkin, and vanilla. Mix until just combined. Add the powdered sugar, pumpkin spice mix, and cinnamon. Mix until just mixed.

Step 11:

Flip over half of the cookies. Transfer the cream cheese frosting into a piping bag. Pipe the filling into the flipped cookies, starting from the outside and making your way inside. Put the top half of the cookies on each one.
