Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Cookie Base

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper
2. Beat butter, oil, and both sugars together until light and fluffy
3. Mix in the egg and vanilla until well combined
4. Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl, then slowly add to the wet ingredients
5. Roll dough into large balls, place on baking sheets, flatten slightly, and make a shallow indentation in the center of each
6. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let them cool completely before filling

Prepare the Pumpkin Mousse Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice until smooth
2. Add orange coloring if desired
3. In another bowl, whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form
4. Fold whipped cream into pumpkin mixture until fluffy

Assemble and Serve

Pipe the mousse into the cooled cookie centers and give them a little swirl on top. You can even sprinkle a touch of extra pumpkin spice for a bakery-style finish. If you want a more indulgent spread, pair these cookies with slices of warm pumpkin bread or a creamy pumpkin fluff pie.
