Pumpkin Cream Sandwiches

These are WONDERFUL! I actually cut each cookie in half to increase the frosting to cookie ratio :). Big hit at the office Halloween party!

These sandwiches are amazing. Best if you make them the day you intend to take them to a party, etc. If you must store them in the fridge over night make sure they are completely cool, as they will soak up moisture and become a bit dense. I am making these a holiday tradition! I usually double the recipe as well since it uses a very small amount of pumpkin. These are a great party hit!

Have made these a couple of times and received rave reviews from all my taste-testers. Keeping them at room temp for a day or two is fine; longer and you should put them in the fridge to prevent molding.

Try adding more confectioner's sugar and maybe a bit of vanilla. Be careful when adding the cream with the sugar because a drop of cream will soak up lots of sugar.

These cookies are really yummy and moist. I kept them at room temperature but they got moldy a couple days later. Just a reminder to eat them up quickly!

Any ideas on how to tone down the tanginess of the cream cheese filling?

These cookies are delicious, easy to make, and have all the flavors of fall. The cookies come out very moist and stay that way when left stored at room temperature. The filling is quick and simple to make and tastes heavenly! I think the cookies alone are wonderful - I even caught my dad eating several without the filling. It was such a great first experience that I printed out the recipe and stored it in my recipe box.

These turned out great, but when I stored them in the fridge overnight in sealed Tupperware, they soaked up all of the moisture inside and became VERY moist. Still delicious, but it made them quite a bit more rich. Any suggestions? I think next time I should leave the cookies outside of the fridge and apply the filling right before I take them anywhere.

LOVE these. Made them with my 7-year-old, the KitchenAid Mixer and the cookie scoop. I did double the recipe and triple the confectioners' sugar. They came out perfect and looked really fancy. Thanks, Real Simple!

I made this recipe over the weekend and they turned out delicious! The crowd went crazy. Definitely will be making again.

This recipe was great. It does only make 8 smallish sandwiches so you might want to double it depending on your crowd. It is missing the confectioner's sugar amount in the ingredient list, but if you google this recipe you'll find a link for the right amount to add.

Thank you, Heidi! I made these last night and I made the cookies a bit smaller to stretch them out, and I got 11 sandwiches out of it. Seems like a recipe that's easy to double if I need more next time. :)

The amount varies depending on how heaping each tablespoon is in step 4, but the recipe yields about 16 cookies (8 cookies when sandwiched) and the serving size is 1 sandwiched cookie.

I made the cookies and they came out great! However, the recipe does not include how much confectioner's sugar to use, so you have to play it by ear...

These look completely delicious. Looks like I'll be adding pumpkin puree and cream cheese to my weekly shopping list.
