How to Make Pumpkin Gobs
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each gob.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet before frosting.
- **To make the cream cheese filling:** In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 4 tablespoons (½ stick) softened butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the gobs are completely cool, frost the bottom of one gob with the cream cheese filling and top with another gob to create a sandwich cookie.
- Enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Gobs!
