Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by ensuring butter and cream cheese are at room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, cream together browned butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg yolk and vanilla extract, then blend in pumpkin puree.
In another bowl, whisk flour, chai spice blend, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually add to the wet mixture along with rolled oats.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared sheets and bake for approximately 10 minutes until golden.
For the buttercream filling, beat together browned butter and cream cheese until creamy, then mix in powdered sugar and other flavorings until smooth.
Once cooled, spread buttercream on one cookie half and top with another to create the pie.
