Most food bloggers have been posting pumpkin recipes since the end of August. There are a couple of reasons why it’s taken me so long to jump on board.
#1. Summer here is so fleeting, I like to live in the moment a little and enjoy it while it lasts. Which totally explains why I post rich, hearty, comforting meals all throughout the summer….
#2. I’m not pumpkin’s biggest fan.
It’s not that I hate pumpkin or I won’t try something if it’s pumpkin, it’s just not something I wait for every year, you know? Fall also means apples and grapes, and I would take either of those over pumpkin.
Now, don’t go thinking I would share something with you that wasn’t absolutely delicious, or that I would share something with you that I hadn’t even sampled myself. I tried them, and I enjoyed them.
That being said, if I’m offered a slice of apple pie or a slice of pumpkin pie, I’m going for the apple every time.
This is another recipe adapted from my grandma’s cookbook. I know cream cheese frosting isn’t a traditional oreo filling, but it’s the way I’ve always made them, and we’ve been going nuts for them ever since I was little. I thought it would be easy enough just to make some oreo cookies with pumpkin cream cheese frosting, but I really wanted to add a slather of chocolate ganache.
I mean, more chocolate is always better, right?

Notes
*Because of the cream cheese, the cookies will need to be stored in the refrigerator. For this reason I use a softer ganache and softer frosting, so that they are the right consistency out of the fridge. The cookies will be easier to assemble if the ganache and frosting have chilled.
