Pumpkin Pinwheel Cookies
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Divide the dough in half. Roll out each half between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over each rolled-out dough.
-
Starting from one long side, carefully roll up each rectangle of dough into a tight log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Remove the chilled dough logs from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
-
Place the cookie rounds onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwich cookies.
-
Serve and enjoy!
