Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
½ cup mashed cooked pumpkin
¼ cup milk
1 LAND O LAKES® Egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
Powdered sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt in bowl. Set aside.
Combine brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter in bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add pumpkin, milk, egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat until well mixed. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed until well mixed.
Drop batter by level measuring tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 9-10 minutes or until set and lightly browned around edges. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
Combine all filling ingredients except powdered sugar in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth. Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar, beating well after each addition until creamy.
Spread 2 teaspoons filling onto bottom-side of 1 cookie. Top with another cookie, bottom-side down. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. Sprinkle filled cookies with powdered sugar.
