In a smaller bowl, add the cream cheese, sugar, pumpkin, flour and spices. Stir to combine.
Place one rounded teaspoon of the cookie mix into the bottom of each muffin tin. Using a tart tamper or your fingers dipped in sugar, press lightly.
Place one rounded teaspoon of the pumpkin mixture in the center of each.
Top each with another rounded teaspoon of the crumb mixture. Press very, very lightly.
Bake for 15 - 17 minutes or until the edges appear golden brown.
Cool COMPLETELY in the baking pan and use a small knife to loosen. Using the knife, they should come right out.
