Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the cookies: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In another large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; add the flour mixture and gently stir with a wooden spoon until combined.

  3. Drop tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake for 6 minutes, then remove from the oven and make an indentation in the center of each cookie with the back of a teaspoon. Return the cookies to the oven, rotating the baking sheets, and continue baking until the dough is set, 4-6 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Prepare the cream: Beat the cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt; beat until smooth. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a round tip with the cream and pipe into the wells of the cookies. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
