Pumpkin Cream Ginger Cookies

I make the frosting up to 5 days ahead. Since the cookies are store bought I keep them on hand throughout the holidays so I always have a quick dessert on hand.
Makes 1 dozen

Ingredients

1/2 cup or 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
2 Tablespoons pumpkin puree
a scant 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup brown sugar
24 ginger thins or gingersnaps

Directions

In a mixing bowl whisk together cream cheese, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and brown sugar until well incorporated.
Spread 1 teaspoon of frosting on the back of 12 cookies.
Place the bottom of a un-iced cookie on top of an iced one. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Decorate cookies with the remaining icing.

Prepping your fresh rosemary, thyme or marjoram:

Using both hands pinch the top of a sprig with both of your pointer fingers and thumbs. Keep the top fingers on the top of the sprig and pull the bottom fingers all the way down the sprig removing the leaves.
