Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
cookies:
2 eggs
2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin
3 cups flour
1 TBSP pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Heat oven to 350. Beat eggs, brown sugar, oil and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in pumpkin. In a separate bowl, combine flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to egg mixture a 1/2 cup at a time blending each time until smooth. Drop my heaping tablespoons onto a lightly sprayed cookie sheet. Using a wet spoon, slightly flatten the top of each cookie. Bake for about 12 min. Cool on wire rack. TIP: I cut the oil in 1/2 and add a 1/2 cup applesauce and then the 1/2 cup oil. This cuts down the calories and fat. I also often double this recipe, as they are so tasty and fun to give to neighbors and friends.
FILLING:
4 oz. cream cheese (softened) you can use the reduced fat kind
1/2 cup butter or margarine softened
2 tsp. vanilla
4-5 cups powdered sugar
Beat together until light and fluffy.
Assemble cookies like the photo- like you are making oreos. This recipe makes about 10-14 total whoopie pies. Very yummy! (I usually double it.)

These look so good! I was waiting to comment until after I tried them, but with all the canning I've been doing, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. I'll have to write the recipe down and let you know how we liked them later.
Woo! That looks good.
Wow, these look so good! I'm just a sucker for anything with frosting, and this seems much more manageable thank making a whole cake!
I just wanted to stop in and thank you for leaving a comment on Kiddio. I really appreciate your stopping in and sharing :)
Best, Amanda
Oh yummy!! That takes me back to the Amish bakeries I went into in Pennsylvania. The pumpkin ones are my favorite. How many points for one of those? :)
Michelle, I have no idea on the points on THESE but probably like 5 each ....these are probably why I gained a few lbs. lately. dang it! But these are delicious- especially fun to make in the fall...
