Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in another bowl until smooth.
- Beat in pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough. Flatten each into a small circle.
- Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of half the circles.
- Top with the remaining dough circles. Press the edges to seal.

- Use a cookie scoop for even portions.
- Do not overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool.
- Make sure the Nutella is sealed inside. Leaking makes a mess.
