Recently a co-worker of mine brought in some delicious pumpkin whoopie pies. I have had whoopie pies before, but never in pumpkin form. She was willing to part with her reciepe and I was able to come up with an excuse to make some.
My friends decided to move back to Iowa and we planned to get together with them soon. My husband thought it would be good idea to bring them a treat to welcome them back. I agreed and thought since it was pumpkin season that the pies would be a great thing to make.
The recipe is from allrecipes.com. It is a great place to look for recipes, no matter what you are looking for! You can look for traditional dishes there or for not-so ordinary dishes as well. Not only can you find desserts you can find entrees, appetizers etc. When I first saw that on the recipe I was assured it would be good.
The whoopie pies were easy to prepare. It was like baking cookies with frosting the on the inside. Plus you had the added bonus of familar Thanksgiving ingredients like pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice.
First you mix the dry ingredients.
Then the wet ingredients.Mix together.
Put on cookie sheets. Bake.
Make "frosting" (or filling if you rather).
Put in refrigerator.
Enjoy!
When we met our friends for the get together they could not wait to dig in. I got rave reviews as well. If your willing to try a new dessert at Thanksgiving I highly recommend the "Mini Pumpkin Whoopie Pies" found on allreciepes.com.
Happy Baking and Happy Thanksgiving!
