Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies are a beloved autumn indulgence, pairing soft, cake-like pumpkin cookies with a tangy-sweet cream cheese or marshmallow filling. Spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, these treats are rich in flavor and nostalgia. They’re perfect for Halloween parties, Thanksgiving dessert tables, or cozying up on a crisp fall day. Moist, portable, and fun to make, they strike the perfect balance between cookie and cake.

Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
- To make the cookie dough: Combine brown sugar and oil in a bowl. Mix in pumpkin and eggs, beating well. Add flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla together into a separate bowl. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix to combine.
- Drop dough by heaping teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool while you make the filling.
- To make the whoopie pie filling: Beat egg white in a bowl and mix in milk, vanilla, then 1 cup confectioners' sugar. Mix well then beat in shortening and remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Assemble once cookies are cool. Make sandwiches from two cookies filled with whoopie pie filling.
