Best Ever Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Recipe
Whoopie!!! That’s what I want to say when I bite into one of these pumpkin whoopie cakes. If you’ve never eaten a homemade whoopie pie, it’s essentially rich buttercream filling that’s sandwiched between two very soft and tender cookies. It doesn’t get much better! I just wanted to pick off these little morsels and squish them between my fingers. The cookies are soft and remind me of my days squishing Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies as a kid. Buttercream is layered on thick and in plentiful abundance. The only way frosting and fillings should be!
