Happy pumpkin season!! As the summer passes and we’re settling back into a more normal routine I find myself spending more time in the kitchen. Since I just got my hands on a new Breville Handy Mix Scraper™ I had to share my newest addiction- Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Icing.
These little fall delights are so soft, they are the perfect cross between cookies and cake… but called a pie!
Pumpkin cookies are really to die for, just the perfect hint of pumpkin. My new Breville Handy Mix Scraper™, comes with 3 sets of beaters- scraper beaters (no more bowl clanking or flower lumps stuck to the bowl) , ballon whisk, and dough hook, and because of the Beater IQ™ feature it knows which beaters you’re using it automatically adjusts to suit what you’re mixing. Giving you the most fluffy Pumpkin Whoopie Pies ever!
This hand held mixer packs a big punch with some really cool features, like a timer and a light! I’m talking a light that shines on the bowl, so you can see what you’re doing… or say if you’re looking for a missing egg shell #thatwouldneverhappen. The count up timer is perfect for those recipes that need precise mixing, resulting in the most delicious recipes.
Recipe for Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
- ½ cup butter
- 1¼ cups of packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup of canned pumpkin
- 2 cups all- purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ½ pkg Cream Cheese
- ¼ cup of butter
- 1 cup of icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Mix to combine
- Cream butter and sugar together. Beat in eggs, add vanilla and pumpkin. Mix well.
- Add in baking powder and spices. Mix
- Gradually add in flour, mix just until combined (on speed 3)
- Using a medium scoop (or tablespoon) drop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake in a 350 deg oven for 10-12 minutes
- Remove from pan and allow to cool completely
- Spread icing on the flat side of one cookie and top with another
- Serve and enjoy!
These little fall morsels are 100% kid approved, they won’t last long!
Since the recipe only calls for 1 cup of pumpkin and there is about triple that amount in a can, you may as well go ahead and double the recipe right away; especially if you have little fingers dipping into the yummy batter!
These Pumpkin Pie Cookies are going to be a great addition to our Thanksgiving lineup. I’ll definitely have the big little kids running for seconds!

October 25, 2015 at 7:37 pmI just popped these out of the oven and waiting to assemble. I do wonder why so much baking soda. I added 3 tsp and the taste is very overpowering.
Virginia says
November 2, 2015 at 9:54 pmI’m sorry you didn’t enjoy them 🙁 I’ve never noticed how much is in them, or an off taste. Its a hand-me-down recipe.

December 6, 2015 at 12:59 amThe recipe says baking powder, not baking soda
Virginia says
December 7, 2015 at 9:17 amThanks for catching the typo, but it should be baking powder.

October 13, 2018 at 9:47 amExcited to make these, what is the best way to store them ?
Virginia says
October 17, 2018 at 6:28 amJust in a plastic covered container. If you stack them, they will stick together, so you may want a parchment in between. Thanks for visiting!
