A Delicious Pumpkin Recipe to Savor This Fall

Easy Make-Ahead Pumpkin Whoopie Pies (makes 30 pies)

Ingredients

1 15.25 ounce spice cake mix

⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree

2 eggs

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

For Frosting

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened

½ cup unsalted butter softened

3 ¾ cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl, add the cake mix, butter, pumpkin, eggs and pumpkin pie spice. Mix slowly for 30 seconds or until combined, then beat for 1-2 minutes. Batter should be on the wet side. Drop tablespoons-sized dollops onto the cookie sheet, trying to make them uniform in size. Bake one pan at a time for 10-11 minutes and let cool completely. To make the frosting, combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl and mix with an electric mixer until smooth.

Add the powdered sugar and mix at low speed until combined. Stiri in the vanilla and mix again for a few minutes until light and fluffy. You can add milk or cream to make it more spreadable. Frost a cookie with a dollop of cream cheese frosting and then top with another cookie. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
