Preparation
- Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 36 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. Make cookie dough as directed on pouch. Using rounded teaspoon of dough, shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Press dough evenly into bottom of each muffin cup and slightly up sides.
- In medium bowl, stir Pumpkin Filling ingredients with whisk until blended. Spoon rounded teaspoonful of mixture into each dough-filled muffin cup; spread slightly.
- Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown and filling appears set (cookies and filling will be soft). Cool 10 minutes in pan; carefully remove to cooling rack.
- Fill small resealable food-storage plastic bag with frosting. Cut off small corner of bag; squeeze small dollop of frosting onto each cookie. Sprinkle lightly with additional pumpkin pie spice, if desired. Refrigerate cookies in covered container or resealable food-storage plastic bag.
Recipe Tips
- If you don’t have 3 muffin pans, cover and refrigerate filling and cover cookie dough until placed in muffin pan. You can roll the balls of dough ahead; cover with plastic wrap to prevent dough from drying out.
- If using 21-oz pouch of Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix, make cookie dough as directed on pouch. For pumpkin filling, use 5 oz cream cheese, 2/3 cup canned pumpkin, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. For topping, use 2/3 cup cream cheese frosting. Makes 42 cookies
