Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth; set aside.
- To form the cookies, scoop a tablespoon of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center and fold the dough around it to seal.
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Arrange the cookies in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between each cookie. You may need to work in batches.
- Sprinkle granulated sugar on top of each cookie before air frying.
- Cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Chef’s Tips
- For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular softened butter.
- Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or allspice for a unique twist.
- Ensure the cream cheese is well-softened for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
