I absolutely love a hybrid dessert. Taking the best components of two\u2014sometimes three\u2014desserts and turning them into one \u201cbest of\u201d recipe gets me every time. Our pumpkin cheesecake cookies are one of my favorite examples of this phenomenon.<\/p>\n
Think about it: Your favorite pumpkin cookies\u2014tender, chewy and fall-spiced\u2014are stuffed with a creamy, dreamy cheesecake filling and surrounded with a crackly cinnamon-sugar coating (thank you, snickerdoodles<\/a>). I couldn\u2019t think of a more perfect cookie to welcome autumn.<\/p>\n In a bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the cream cheese, sugar and sour cream until smooth and lump free.<\/p>\n Scoop out the filling by tablespoonfuls, and place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the cream cheese balls are frozen solid.<\/p>\n While the cream cheese filling is in the freezer, in a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.<\/p>\n Spread the pumpkin puree on a plate, then lightly dab the puree with a paper towel (repeatedly) to remove the excess liquid.<\/p>\n Add the pumpkin to the creamed mixture and beat well.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture.<\/p>\n Measure out the dough by quarter cupfuls, and refrigerate the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet until the dough is firm enough to shape, about one hour.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or damp or floured hands to flatten each dough ball.<\/p>\n Place a frozen cheesecake filling portion into the center of each dough piece. Wrap the dough around the filling to cover it completely, shaping each into a ball.<\/p>\n Roll the cookie balls in the cinnamon sugar. Refrigerate the dough balls until chilled, about 30 minutes. Place the cookie dough balls 4 inches apart, seam side down, on parchment-lined baking sheets.<\/p>\n Bake the cookies until the tops appear dry and the edges are browned, 17 to 20 minutes. Cool the cookies on baking sheets for five minutes, then remove them from the pans and onto wire racks. Store leftover cookies in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n While you may be used to storing cookies at room temperature, these pumpkin cheesecake cookies must be stored in the fridge because of their cream cheese center. Once the cookies have cooled to room temperature, transfer them to an airtight container. You can lay pieces of waxed paper or parchment between each stack to prevent them from sticking together. Refrigerate the cookies for up to five days.<\/p>\n Absolutely! Cool the cookies to room temperature, then transfer them to an airtight container. Place sheets of waxed paper or parchment in between each layer so the cookies don\u2019t freeze together and break. They can be frozen for up to two months and thawed overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n Pumpkin puree contains a lot of water, no matter if it\u2019s the best canned pumpkin<\/a> or your special homemade pumpkin puree<\/a>. Excess water will make the dough moister, and more water means fluffier, cakier cookies. That\u2019s why we blot the pumpkin puree. Drawing out all that excess water will leave you with concentrated pumpkin puree that won\u2019t affect your cookies\u2019 texture.<\/p>\n You can get the excess water out of pumpkin puree in two different ways. The first way is to strain the pumpkin puree through a cheesecloth or paper towel. A cheesecloth is much sturdier, but a paper towel works in a pinch. The paper towel will break, so you may have to strain the puree a few times with a few sheets of paper towels.<\/p>\n The second way is by blotting away the liquid. Place the pumpkin puree on a baking sheet or plate and spread it out. Using a paper towel, blot away as much excess liquid as you can from the puree.<\/p>\n Pumpkin cheesecake cookies fresh out of the oven are extremely fragile. Unfortunately, you\u2019re going to have to practice patience with this recipe. Let the cookies cool completely to room temperature before diving in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ready to make the ultimate fall cookie?
