Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in one egg and pumpkin puree until well blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and pumpkin spice. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop cookie dough, flatten, add cheesecake filling, and mold dough around filling to seal.
  5. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
  6. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
