Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounce) can of pumpkin puree (or fresh).
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup canola or light olive oil.
- 1/2 cup butter or Smart Balance.
- 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar (or substitute).
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda powder
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups of whole-wheat pastry flour
CREAM-CHEESE FILLING
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, or Smart Balance, softened.
- 8 ounces cream cheese, or (Neuchâtel) softened.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- a dash of lemon juice (my secret).
Directions:
Prep Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
- Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare pans, using parchment paper, silicon mats or spray 2 cookie sheets.
- Using a mixer (if you like), beat pumpkin, eggs, oil, brown sugar, molasses and vanilla together until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (with a whisk) and add to the pumpkin mixture slowly, mix until well combined.
- Scoop rounded spoonfuls of batter (use an ice cream scoop) onto the cookie sheet and space at least 2-inches apart.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes or until done. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
- * Filling: Whip-up the butter and cream cheese. Slowly add the sifted confectioners’ sugar, add in vanilla, and dash of lemon. Beat until light and fluffy.
- After the whoopies have cooled, place a scoop of filling between two cookies.
- I like to wrap them individually in plastic wrap and chill. They freeze beautifully… ENJOY!!!

My family makes a pumpkin crisp. It is sort of a pumpkin pie meets pumpkin bars.

Indian pudding is my favorite Thanksgiving Day dessert. Warm, rich, molasses flavor and so simple! And good for you too! Served warm with vanilla bean ice cream…yum!
Favorite dessert for thanksgiving? Anything pumpkin.. I mean it very seriously.. pumpkin (in no particular order); Bars, bread, muffins, pie, cheesecake, pumpkin dumpcake.. Not to mention WHoopie Pies! I’ve introduced many people to Whoopie pies since I’ve moved from NH to cali
Never had a Whoopie Pie, and bet that would be my favorite Thanksgiving dessert! Since I haven’t, my favorite is the charlotte my mother used to make. Would LOVE to have a whoopie pie, though.
Mom’s pumpkin pie with Dream Whip.
My favorite dessert for Thanksgiving is Pumpkin Pie and Mazarintorta ( a raspberry/ almond cake), a favorite of my family for years. Hope I win your Pumpkin woopies. Love your website.

I cook, but I still want to win whoopie pies. I mean, who wouldn’t?
My favorite Thanksgiving dessert is a pumpkin roulade. I haven’t done one on a couple of years, but I plan to this year.
My favorite Thanksgiving dessert has to be Pumpkin Pie, or cheesecake or cake or anything sweet and fattening!
I love Holidays and I love desserts. The best dessert I made was a chocolate hazelnut torte. The best dessert someone else made was a pumpkin creme brulee(sp) it was beyond yummy, it was one of the best things I have ever tasted. The caramelized sugar on top was perfect and the smooth custard was almost a sin, it was so decadent. I have had wonderful desserts at Thanksgiving but this one was out of this world.
My favorite dessert is toasted coconut cream pie; I look forward to it every year.
Thanks for the Whoopie Pie recipe, it looks great!
Fudge pecan pie is my favorite dessert, but usually anything with nuts gets my vote!
I guess my very favorite dessert that I normally make on Thanksgiving and Christmas is Peanut Butter Pie.
My favorite dessert is my pecan pie,pumpkin cheesecake is second…I love to cook and bake but I don’t bake as much cause i have lost 45 pounds so i usually don’t eat alot of real sweet anymore other than at holidays and get togethers… I would love to try your whoopie pies I love pumpkin so much that I have been making soups with it and low cal pumpkin ice cream…..
We always have a small dessert buffet – pumpkin pie, apple crisp and decorated sugar cookies. The whoopie pies would be a great addition – yum!
I was so excited to read your Pumpkin Whoopie Pie recipe. My husband’s family is coming for Thanksgiving and I am definitely making them!! I absolutely love whoopie pies and living in the south after being raised up north, it is extremely difficult to find them – so, I make my own – but pumpkin – WOW!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and I know we will be enjoying our pies!
Pecan pie – but any pie will do
My favorite desert for Thanksgiving is a Pumpkin Chiffon pie. Lovely pumpkin taste is a light version of the traditional heavier pumpkin pie. Great anytime in the fall. I would love the pumpkin woopie pies, all we get down here a moon pies.
My favorite dessert is pumpkin pie or as my husband would say: cool whip with a side of pumpkin pie… yum!
Pecan pie or traditional Libby’s pumpkin. Turtle cheesecake. Decadent caramel fudge pie. Lemon bars…obviously, anything that doesn’t get out of the way quickly enough.
I’m a traditional pumpkin pie girl myself. Pretty much love anything pumpkin though and those whoopie pies sure look great! I would love to win them! Thanks for the great recipe!
I LOVE this time of year because I adore anything PUMPKIN! It would be too hard to narrow it down to one. I love pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread pudding, pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin bread. I have not had the joy of eating a pumpkin whoopie pie yet so I hope I am the winner and I can add it to my pumpkin desserts list
Thanks for the chance!
My Pumpkin Cheesecake with a chocolate graham cracker crust!
Definitely the pumpkin cheesecake my cousin makes. SO good
Pumpkin cheesecake and Pecan Pie! I will be making your pecan recipe again this year… can’t wait!
I’ve loved pumpkin whoopie pies since I was a kid growing up on the coast.
Though I have to say that my favorite thanksgiving dessert is warm apple pie, made with some nice Macs, topped with vanilla ice cream.
