# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Beat light brown sugar and softened butter together until creamy and fluffy using a mixer.
03 - Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping down bowl sides to ensure even mixing.
04 - Mix in pumpkin puree until fully combined with butter mixture.
05 - Whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
06 - Gradually beat dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture just until combined, avoiding overmixing.
07 - Scoop batter using a medium-sized cookie scoop onto prepared baking sheets, spacing approximately 5 cm apart.
08 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until centers are set. Remove and cool completely on wire racks.
09 - Beat softened butter and cream cheese together until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and salt, mixing until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
10 - Pipe filling onto bottom half of a cooled cookie, then sandwich with another cookie. Refrigerate assembled pies until ready to serve.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure cookies are completely cooled before assembling to prevent filling from melting.
