Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients and fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared sheet, spacing them apart, and bake for 10-12 minutes until set. Let cool.
  5. For the filling, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  6. Assemble by spreading filling on one cookie and topping with another. Press gently.
