- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree

- 1 Egg
- 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
- 1/4 cup Butter, Softened
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 2–3 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and oil; beat until well mixed.
- Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture and blend well.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
- Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.
- Bake the whoopie pies for 10 minutes, then allow them to sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
- For the filling, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
- Mix in the vanilla and 1 cup of powdered sugar, adding more until the filling reaches a spreadable consistency.
- To assemble, spread the filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
Notes
Allow the whoopie pies to cool completely before assembling to prevent the filling from melting.
Experiment with different spices or even add nuts for a unique touch. Use more or less powdered sugar for the filling to achieve desired sweetness.
Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They also freeze well.
