Directions:
-

-
2. Mix spice cake mix and pumpkin pie spice together.
-
3. Add pumpkin and applesauce and mix until combined
-
4. Mix in chocolate chips.
-
5. Spoon golf ball sized dough balls onto parchment paper and bake for 11-14 minutes or until the tops are cooked.
-
6. Place onto cooling racks, and make sure they are completely cooled before assembling.
-
7. Filling: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Beat for 2-3 minutes.
-
8. Assemble cookie sandwiches by piping filling into the bottom side of half the cookies (or simply use a spoon).

9. Refrigerate cookies until chilled, about 1 hour. This helps the filling not to gush out when you eat them, and plus, they just taste better cold.
