Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (Optional)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 ¾ cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 pinch ground cloves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 32 miniature muffin cups.
Step 2
Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in a bowl. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream unsalted butter with sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and workable; beat in egg and milk. Set the mixer to low speed and and gradually beat in flour mixture, beating just until the dough comes together.
Step 3
Pinch off dough by tablespoon, roll into a ball, and place balls into the prepared mini muffin cups.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to turn golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 1 minute. Use the back of a rounded teaspoon measure to press a small depression into the top of each cookie. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes in pan before removing to finish cooling on a rack. It helps to give the cookies a little twist as you lift them out.
Step 5
Beat cream cheese with 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Slowly beat in pumpkin puree until thoroughly combined. Beat in remaining 2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, a little at a time. Stir in cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, and a pinch of cloves. Spoon or pipe the pumpkin mixture into each cookie cup.
