Instructions
To make the cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, stir together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, spice and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter and Splenda Sugar Blend together until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat again. Scoop in pumpkin, beating until fully incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture; beat until combined. Do not over mix. Scoop dough into balls 1 ½ tablespoon size onto prepared baking sheet, leaving 3 inches between each. (Dough will be more wet than traditional cookie dough).
- Bake for about 10 – 12 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
To make the cream cheese swirl:
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and Splenda Sugar Blend until fluffy.
To make the cinnamon swirl:
- In another small bowl, stir together Splenda Sugar Blend, cinnamon and water.
To add swirls to cookies:
- Add cream cheese mixture and cinnamon mixture to two separate piping bags.
- Pipe a little over a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each cookie in a swirl formation, leaving a space for the cinnamon mixture. Then, pipe a small amount of cinnamon mixture in a swirl in-between the cream cheese. Enjoy!
