Easy Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Chef Jenn
Easy Pumpkin Whoopie Pies are a fall favorite with tender, spiced cookies and creamy frosting in the middle. Easy to make, portable, and full of cozy pumpkin flavor.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup oil
  • 3 cups pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice

For the frosting filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix sugar, brown sugar, and oil in a stand mixer until smooth.
  • Add pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until blended.
  • Combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice, in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Scrape sides as needed.
  • Scoop batter using an ice cream scoop and place mounds on baking sheets with space for spreading.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until centers are set. Cool completely on parchment before removing.
  • Beat softened butter in a stand mixer until smooth. Add cream cheese and beat until lump-free.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until combined. Increase speed to medium and whip until smooth and fluffy, scraping sides as needed. Transfer to a piping bag.
  • Match cookies by size, pipe frosting on one, and sandwich with another.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies so every whoopie pie matches perfectly.
  • Make sure the cookies are fully cooled before adding frosting or the filling will melt.
  • For a fluffier filling, chill the frosting for 10 minutes before piping.
  • Add a little extra pumpkin pie spice to the batter if you like more spice flavor.
