I made these as a way to use up leftover canned pumpkin puree. They turned out great! They're so quick and easy to make! They hold together like a soft cookie, but when you eat them, they melt in your mouth and have a creamy texture like cheesecake. These are small, one bite cookies!

How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Drop Cookies
- In a medium size bowl, cream together the first 4 ingredients.
- Then add in the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Drop the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet. I used a tablespoon measure melon baller to do this. You can place them closer together because these cookies don't spread.
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies are just slightly browned.
