Instructions

Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator.
For the cookie dough, cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until fluffy. Add pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla; mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine with wet ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets and create indents in each scoop.
Fill each indent with chilled cheesecake filling. Roll in a cinnamon-sugar mixture before baking for about 12 minutes or until edges are golden.
