Playing with Pumpkin

So Ashley's Pumpkin Pie inspired me, so I made whoopee pies!! I didn't have one, because everyone at work ate them all, so I assume they were delicious!

Pumpkin Whoopee Pies

Pies:

3 c all purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

2 tbsp. cinnamon

1 tbsp. ground ginger

1 tbsp. ground cloves

1 c veggie oil

2 c packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

3 c chilled pumpkin puree

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. In a seporate bowl, whisk the brown sugar and oil together. Add pumpkin until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla until smooth. Add flour mix to wet mix, and whisk until smooth. Drop scoops of mix on the cookie sheet. These do not spread too much, so they don't have to be seporated too much. Cook for 10-12 minutes.

Cream Cheese Filling:

3 c confectioner's sugar

1/2 c butter (room temp)

8 oz cream cheese (room temp)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Cream all ingredients together. Once the pies are completely cool, spread about a tablespoon of cream filling and top with another pie. Sooo good!
