Soft pumpkiny cakes/cookies with sweet buttery filliing, can't go wrong with that! Mine needed more like 12 minutes to bake fully, otherwise they were very gooey in the middle. I really liked the filling in these, because the butter completely masks the Crisco. This made 25 pies and 1 lone tester cookie, and the single batch of filling was plenty to generously fill all the pies (with no leftovers to deal with, bonus!). Thanks for posting!
