Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin spice, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the cream cheese, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing well before folding in the flour mixture until a thick dough forms.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, whole milk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth to prepare the filling.
  5. Roll the cookie dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls, roll in coarse sugar, and place on the baking sheet. Make a well in the center of each ball and fill with pumpkin filling.
  6. Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and filling is set. Cool on wire racks before serving.
