  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and cookies are lightly golden.
  10. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. For the filling, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.

Notes

Make the brown butter and chill the dough ahead of time for best texture. These cream pies freeze well assembled or as dough for convenient future baking. Use a good quality pumpkin spice blend or chai spice for optimal flavor.
