I needed a way to use up pumpkin that was in my freezer from last year. I saw a recipe for these on another blog but it was made using a premade cake mix and that really isn't my thing. So I came up with my own version. Enjoy!
What you need:
- 3/4 c. brown sugar
- 3/4 c. white or turbinado sugar
- 1 c. light olive oil
- 1 can or jar of pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 1 t. vanilla
- 3 c. flour
- 1 t. baking soda
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1 t. cinnamon
- 1 t. pumpkin spice
- 1/2 t. salt
Mix together the sugars, oil, vanilla, and pumpkin.
Mix in the rest of the wet ingredients. Then add all the dry ingredients and mix together until just blended.
Put the pumpkin mixture in a plastic bag or a pastry bag. Snip a hole in the corner.
Use the mixture and the bag to make circles from the dough. Make these circles on the greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 11 - 12 minutes at 350F. Let them cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling mix together 6 T melted butter, 1 pk(8oz) cream cheese, 1 t. vanilla, and 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar.
Isn't it pretty? And so yummy.....
Put the frosting mixture in a plastic bag or a pastry bag. Snip a hole in the corner.
Drop blobs of frosting on the middles of half of the cooled cookies.
Put another cookie on top the cookie and frosting. That's it!

Aren't they yum? I'm eating one right now:) I think next time I could even add a little less sugar.
yes, you could! I think they will not last long here my son just loves them.
Thanks sweet girl.
These sound delicious! I wondered what size can of pumpkin you used. I have a 15 oz. as well as the larger 29 oz. size. If you could drop me an email about this I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks!

Do you think substituting the pumpkin with Squash (butternut?) would work? Could you please email me with your thoughts? balderstonm@yahoo.com Thanks!
Yes, these do sound yummy but I really frown on making a 1-2-3 recipe, meaning 1 oil, 2 sugar, 3 flour, always looking for a lower sugar and fat one with whole wheat grains, anyone have suggestions on modification of this one?? Oh, i can just make these with my almost 4 yr old grandson, he isn’t watching his weight and I am sure he would love how these are made using baggies and he could help squeeze the stuff out.
Thanks, CKay
