Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Pie Cookie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter with the granulated and light brown sugars for 2-3 minutes until creamy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually mix in the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  5. Drop rounded dollops of dough onto the baking sheet and create a divot in each cookie.
  6. Mix the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and evaporated milk until smooth for the filling.
  7. Spoon the pumpkin filling into the divots of each cookie dough mound.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are golden and centers look soft.
