Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cream cheese frosting

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cream cheese frosting

I just love these wonderful whoopie pies. What is a whoopie pie? It is like to cookies with cream inside but 100 times bigger, softer, and better! 

Ingredients:

2 cups of flour

1/2 tsp of baking soda

1 tsp of baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp of nutmeg

1/4 tsp of cloves

1/2 tsp of salt

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3/4 cup pumpkin puree (canned)

1/4 cup milk

1 large egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with pam.

Add dry ingredients to a bowl (sift) and set aside.

In a mixer with paddle: Add brown sugar, oil, pumpkin, and milk and blend well. Add egg and blend. On low, add one scoop of the dry ingredients at a time. Continue until well blended. 

CHILL for 30 minutes

Take a cookie scoop and spray with Pam. Scoop out pumpkin mix onto cookie sheet leaving 2 inches apart from each other. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire rack and repeat until all are done. This should give you around 24 mini whoopie pies (total of 48). 

Let cool and then pipe frosting to one pumpkin whoopie pie and sandwich together with another one. 

Store in the refrigerator. 

Frosting

8 oz cream cheese

3 cups confectioner ‘sugar

4 tblsp unsalted butter softened

1/2 tsp vanilla extract (pure)

1 1/2 tblsp maple syrup

ENJOY!
