Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Chocolate chips (optional)
Whipped cream (for garnish)
Cinnamon dusting (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy for the filling.
Using a cookie scoop, drop a small amount of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make an indentation in the center and fill it with a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling.
Top with a bit more cookie dough to cover the filling, but allow some of the filling to show.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
