Preheat your oven to 350°F. Drop tablespoon sized balls of cheesecake filling onto a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
While the cheesecake is freezing, cream the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to whisk the ingredients for about 3 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Once the butter and sugar are creamed, whisk in the eggs for a few more minutes. Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree, mix again until just combined.
Whisk in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Make sure there are no pockets of unincorporated flour in your cookie dough.
Divide the cookie dough into 12 large discs on two parchment lined 9x15 baking sheets. Leave 1-2" between each cookie. Make smaller cookies by dividing the cookie dough and cheesecake filling into 24 portions instead.
Place a tablespoon of frozen cheesecake in the center of each cookie. Fold the cookie dough over the cheesecake to cover it completely. Bake your cookies for 12 minutes. Serve & enjoy!
