Time 35m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ sticks unsalted butter
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
⅔ cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
½ cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
1 (4 ounce) package cold cream cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
¾ cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook, without stirring, until butter crackles, then foams and browns, about 5 minutes. It should smell nutty, and when butter is swirled brown bits should be visible. Pour butter into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Let cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt. Set aside.
  • Add brown sugar and stevia to cooled butter and beat until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in pumpkin until smooth. Stir in flour mixture until just combined.
  • Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between cookies. Bake until lightly browned and barely firm on top, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
  • While cookies cool, prepare frosting. In a food processor, combine cream cheese, butter, stevia, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Pulse until very smooth.
  • Spread frosting over cooled cookies. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
