Pumpkin Butter Frosting
- In a mixer on high speed beat the butter until light and creamy, roughly 5-7 minutes.
- Add the softened cream cheese and continue to whip together for a few more minutes. The mixture should be light and creamy.
- With the mixer off, add in a cup of powder sugar at a time mixing in the sugar slowly so it doesn't escape your bowl!
- Return the mixer speed to high after each addition of sugar is incorporated.
- Add the vanilla and salt and mix a few seconds.
- Add in the pumpkin butter and mix on high for a e few minutes making sure the mixture is well mixed and fluffy.
- Place the frosting in piping bag to pipe onto cookies for later if desired. You can also use a spoon to layer frosting on the cookies.
Pumpkin Butter Cookies
- Cream butter and both types of sugars in a mixing bowl until very creamy and slightly pale in color.
- Add the egg and egg yolk and mix for a minute making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to mix everything evenly.
- Add vanilla extract and pumpkin butter and mix well on medium speed.
- Sift dry ingredients and spices on top of the wet mixture and turn mixer on low to incorporate dry mix. The dough will be soft.
- Chop pumpkin spice Oreos into quarters, roughly one inch pieces and add to the dough on low speed until Oreo pieces are mixed evenly.
- Using a 3 ounce cookie scoop, portion out 18 pieces of dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and allow to chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375*F and bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes. Cookies are done when the edges are deep golden brown. They will spread considerably during baking, don't crowd the pan.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 15-20 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
