Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Base:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

For the Pumpkin Pie Filling:

1 cup canned pumpkin purée
1 large egg
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup evaporated milk or heavy cream

Instructions

Prepare dough: Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then add to wet mixture. Chill dough 30 minutes.
Shape cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough into 3 tbsp portions. Flatten slightly and press a deep well into the center, or use a muffin tin for perfect cups.
Mix filling: Whisk pumpkin purée, egg, sugars, spices, salt, and cream until smooth. Spoon 1–2 tbsp into each cookie well.
Bake: Bake 12–14 minutes until edges are golden and centers jiggle slightly. Cool 10 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
Optional: Chill for 30 minutes for a firmer pie-like texture. Garnish with whipped cream or cinnamon sugar before serving.

Notes

Chill dough to prevent spreading and achieve thick cookies.
Do not overfill wells—1–2 tbsp filling is ideal.
Use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie mix.
Edges should be golden but centers slightly soft when removed.
Refrigerate filled cookies due to custard filling.
