Pumpkin Pie-Stuffed Cookies

Sugar cookies stuffed with pumpkin pie filling - a delicious combination!

Prep: 25 min | Bake: 16 to 18 min | Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup canned pumpkin pie mix (not plain pumpkin)
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 1 (16.5 ounce) roll Pillsbury™ refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon-sugar

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In small bowl, mix pumpkin pie mix and cream cheese; set aside.
3. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in flour until mixed well.
4. Sprinkle work surface with additional flour. With rolling pin, roll dough 1/8 inch thick, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
5. With a floured 2 1/2 inch round cutter, cut 24 dough rounds, rerolling scraps as needed.
6. On a large ungreased cookie sheet, place 12 dough rounds about 2 inches apart.
7. Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon pumpkin mixture on center of each round.
8. Top each with another dough round, crimping outer edges with fork to seal.
9. Sprinkle tops of cookies with cinnamon-sugar mixture, gently spreading around with fingers if necessary.
10. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown around edges.
11. Cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes; remove to cooling rack until completely cooled.

Notes

Store cookies in refrigerator because of the cream cheese in the pumpkin filling.

Leftover cookie dough can be baked into sugar cookies.
