These Pumpkin Whoopie Pies are not only easy to make but so so so good.  They are light and fluffy with a cream cheese filling. 

My love affair with all things pumpkin continues. I just can’t help myself.   If you’re looking for an easy to make pumpkin recipe, this is the one! 

What is a whoopie pie? 

It’s a type of dessert that is made from two soft cookies with a creamy filling sandwiched in between them.  They are a traditional New England treat and even the official treat of Maine! The more you know.  I’ve made them with chocolate, kind of like a softer homemade oreo cookie. I also have a great Nutter Butter recipe and while they aren’t technically whoopie pies, they are a sandwich type cookie with filling in between.

The one downside (as with all whoopie pie type cookies) is that it takes double to make one cookie. You’ll have sheets and sheets of cookies but then they don’t make a ton of them by the time you’re done.  Clear as mud?  Either way, they are worth it.

How to make pumpkin whoopie pies 

  1. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.  This helps to bake evenly, eliminate sticking and prevents spreading. 
  2. Mix together cake mix, oil and pumpkin. 
  3. Use a cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheet. 
  4. Bake and let cool. 
  5. While the cookies are baking, make the frosting. 
  6. Whip butter and cream cheese together. 
  7. Add vanilla and slowly add in powdered sugar. 
  8. After cookies are completely cool, spread frosting in between 2 cookies.

    Have you ever made pumpkin puree before? It’s a bit time consuming at first but you get a lot of puree from one pumpkin, and its super easy to freeze. I used it the pumpkin pie in this recipe –

(Like Mickey!) I started 30days several years ago as my idea file. After 9 years and thousands of ideas, I realize I’ll never be able to check them all off my list.
