Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Author: Mrs Happy Homemaker

Ingredients

  • For the cookies:
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1.5 cups pure pumpkin
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 stick butter softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat over to 350 degrees. Lightly grease your baking sheets.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl. Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla extract and beat well. Stir in flour mixture until well combined.
  • Drop by heaping teaspoons on a baking sheet. I like to use a cookie scoop for this. Bake for 10-14 minutes, until springy to the touch. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
  • For the filling - beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract together until fluffy. Gradually beat in the confectioners sugar until creamy.
  • Spread a heaping teaspoon of filling onto flat side of one cookie; top with flat side of another cookie to make a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. Store in refrigerator.
