Number Of Ingredients 11

PIES
1 box Perfectly Moist spice cake mix
1 c canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 c butter, softened
1/4 c milk
1 egg
FILLING
3 c confectioners'/powdered sugar
1 stick butter, softened
1 pkg cream cheese, softened; 8 oz.
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat cookie ingredients on medium until smooth.
  • 3. Using ice cream scoop (2 tablespoon size), drop batter two inches apart on sheet.
  • 4. Using damp hand, gently smooth out dough.
  • 5. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set. Cool 5 minutes.
  • 6. Remove from sheet to cooling racks. Cool completely; about 15 minutes.
  • 7. Make filling. Sift sugar into bowl and set aside.
  • 8. In a second bowl, beat butter until completely smooth (no lumps remaining).
  • 9. Then add cream cheese and vanilla. Beat again.
  • 10. Slowly add powdered sugar until well combined and smooth.
  • 11. Do not overbeat or it will lose structure. (Filling can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge tightly covered. Let filling soften at room temperature before using.)
  • 12. For each pie spread about 1 generous tablespoon of filling on bottom of one cooled cookie.
  • 13. Top with a second cookie, bottom side down. Gently press cookies together until filling spreads out to the edge of the pie.
  • 14. Put pies in fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
