To make these cookies, you will need to put together three main components: the cheesecake filling, the spiced sugar, and the pumpkin cookies. After being frozen, you’ll put the cheesecake filling inside the cookie dough and roll it in the spiced sugar before baking.

In Bloom Bakery has a detailed breakdown of how to make these cookies and what ingredient quantities to use on her website, but she recommends a few tricks to make sure they turn out great.

She recommends drying out your pumpkin by pressing it with paper towels before using it in order to ensure that they bake properly, and that they don’t turn out cakey.

She also suggests waiting for the cookies to cool completely before eating them, as this will allow for the cheesecake filling to firm up and not be runny.

These cookies aren’t the only pumpkin-themed trend going viral on TikTok right now — the pumpkin head photoshoot trend has made a comeback again this year, with users garnering thousands of likes and views for their videos about it.
