Pumpkin Whoopie Pies


If you're a fan of pumpkin, these pumpkin whoopie pies are definitely something you need to try. They take a little bit of time to make, but are very much worth it.

Every year, I make these whoopie pies for Thanksgiving and they are always everyones favorite dessert. I use a recipe from joyofbaking.com (one of my favorite baking websites) & they are always so so good. I recommend browsing through the website next time you're in the mood to bake, since everything looks amazing.

To make these whoopie pies (or any type of whoopie pie) is simple, it just takes some time. First, you make a cake-like cookie dough that you spoon onto baking sheets in tablespoon-sized drops. You bake the cookies until the tops of the cookies, when lightly pressed, spring back. Then you make the filling, which usually consists of shortening, butter, sugar and a few other ingredients. When the cookies are cooled, you just take two, spoon some icing/filling into one of them, and sandwich the two cookies together to make the finished product!

These pumpkin whoopie pies are one of my favorite things to eat and make, and even though there are still many months until Thanksgiving & the Fall in general, who says you can't eat pumpkin during the summer? 

After you try these, definitely look at joyofbaking.com for more delicious recipes!
