Before starting the recipe, take the butter out at least 1/2 - 1 hour prior. I cut it in pats and place it in the mixer receptacle.
1 cup butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
If you haven't added the butter to the mixer, add it now. Add the cream cheese and sugar and mix on medium-high until combined.
8 ounces cream cheese, .75 cup sugar
Add egg and pumpkin puree and mix until just combined.
.75 cup pumpkin puree, 1 large egg
Add flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla pudding mix, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, and mix on low until just combined.
2.25 cups spelt flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, .50 teaspoon cloves, .25 teaspoon nutmeg, .50 teaspoon salt, 3.4 ounces vanilla pudding mix
With a medium cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough on to the cookie sheet. Only 12 to a sheet as they tend to spread out a little.
Bake for 14 minutes.
Let cookies cool on sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
(Optional) Melt white chocolate in a small saucepan on low heat (should take around 5 minutes). Dip as many cookies halfway in the chocolate and place on parchment paper to set.
