  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened, but not melted)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon molasses (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened, for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl until fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add in the pumpkin puree, molasses, vanilla extract, and egg yolk, and blend until fully combined.
  5. Stir in the dry ingredients gradually until well combined.
  6. Incorporate the oats, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop equal amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  8. Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
  9. Make the cream cheese frosting by beating the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until fluffy, then gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
  10. Assemble the pies by spreading frosting on the flat side of one cookie and pressing another on top.
