Ingredients
Cookie Base
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix Butter and egg called for on cookie mix pouch

4 oz cream cheese, very softened 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix) 1/4 cup sugar 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Steps
- 1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 36 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. Make cookie dough as directed on pouch. Using rounded teaspoon of dough, shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Press dough evenly into bottom of each muffin cup and slightly up sides.
- 2 In medium bowl, stir Pumpkin Filling ingredients with whisk until blended. Spoon rounded teaspoonful of mixture into each dough-filled muffin cup; spread slightly.
- 3 Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown and filling appears set (cookies and filling will be soft). Cool 10 minutes in pan; carefully remove to cooling rack.
- 4 Fill small resealable food-storage plastic bag with frosting. Cut off small corner of bag; squeeze small dollop of frosting onto each cookie. Sprinkle lightly with additional pumpkin pie spice, if desired. Refrigerate cookies in covered container or resealable food-storage plastic bag.
