Pumpkin Pie Filling

• 240 g (1 cup) canned pumpkin purée

• 50 g (¼ cup) light brown sugar, softened

• 1 each egg

• 30 g (2 Tablespoons) heavy (double) cream, room temperature

Cookie Dough

• 230 g (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 200 g (1 cup) light brown sugar

• 4 each egg yolks + 2 each whole eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 480 g (4 cups) All-Purpose Flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

Preheat the oven

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the Wolf E-Series oven to 350ºF on Bake mode.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.

Pumpkin Pie Filling

In a bowl, whisk together all the pumpkin pie filling ingredients until smooth. Set aside until needed.

Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter and light brown sugar for 2 minutes on medium speed, until pale and fluffy.

Add the egg yolks, whole eggs, and vanilla, and mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth cookie dough forms with no visible flour clumps.

Assembling & Baking the Cookies

Use a 3-Tablespoon (1½-ounce) ice cream disher (red) to scoop out 24 portions of cookie dough.

Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart.

Use a 1-Tablespoon measuring spoon to make an indent in the center of each dough ball.

Fill each cookie with about 1 Tablespoon of the pumpkin pie filling.

Bake one tray at a time on the center rack for 15 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and puffed slightly, the edges are evenly golden brown, and the pumpkin pie filling has set.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring them to a serving tray.

To Serve

Decorate with fresh whipped cream at service time, or offer a small dipping bowl so guests can spoon on whipped cream themselves..
