how to make Crumbl Pumpkin Pie Cookies

Ingredients:

1 stick butter (softened)
1/3 cup oil (vegetable or canola oil)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 egg (at room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 & 1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
3 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar
5 oz pumpkin puree
2/3 cup heavy cream (cold)
1 tbsp white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Orange gel food coloring

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer, cream the butter, oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix until combined.
Add the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until everything is well blended.
Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out 9 equally sized cookie balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball to about 1 inch in thickness.
Use a 1/4 measuring cup to press down the center of each cookie, making room for the pumpkin pie filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes, then cool on the baking sheet.
While the cookies cool, prepare the pumpkin pie filling.
