Baking

Mini Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Have I mentioned that autumn is my favorite season! I tend to slow down a bit. The weather is more moderate with warm sunny days and cool breezy nights. There are lots of festivals and parades to attend. I love getting back into the kitchen and get baking some delicious treats with autumns harvest. Pumpkin comes to mind first and foremost. I was so happy to see this recipe for mini pumpkin whoopie pies in my inbox a few weeks ago. I tweaked it a bit and was so happy with the results!

A soft and chewy cookie filled with a cinnamon cream cheese filling.  Not too sweet.  Just right!

pumpkin 4

 

Begin my combining flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and pumpkin pie spice.  Set aside.

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time blending well after each addition.  Add pumpkin and vanilla and blend.  Mixture will appear a bit separated.

While cookies are cooling prepare filling by combining cream cheese, vanilla, butter, sugar and cinnamon.

Beat with electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.  Spread about a teaspoon full onto half of each cookie pair.

Top with the other cookie.

And there you have it!  What a great treat to bake for the kids as an after school snack!  Or, enjoy with a cup of coffee while they are at school!

Or, serve to your friends with a wine and ice tea like I did!!

ENJOY!!

I did altar it slightly by changing up the spices a bit.  For the cookie dough I substituted pumpkin pie spice for the ginger.  To the filling I added 1 tbsp. granulated sugar and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon.
