Chewy pumpkin goodies with a creamy cheesecake inside, perfect for fall cravings.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Dry Stuff

01 - 100 grams sugar
02 - 125 grams plain flour
03 - 5 milliliters pumpkin pie spice
04 - 5 milliliters baking soda

→ Wet Stuff

05 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
06 - 113 grams cream cheese, softened up
07 - 120 grams pumpkin puree
08 - 1 large egg at room temp

# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Line two trays with parchment paper first. Turn your oven on to 175°C to warm up.
02 - In a bowl, mix baking soda, flour, and pumpkin spice with a whisk.
03 - Cream the sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Toss in the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla, then mix everything well.
04 - Slowly add the dry mix to the wet stuff. Stir enough to blend, but don’t overdo it.
05 - Put spoonfuls of dough onto the lined trays. Make a little hole in each and fill it with leftover cream cheese mix.
06 - Bake them for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges turn golden but the middle stays soft. Let them cool before you eat.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Try swapping white sugar with brown for a richer taste. Keep cookies fresh in an airtight box for up to three days. Softened cream cheese helps avoid lumps.
