Pumpkin Maple Whoopie Pies

October 15, 2015 · WCC Administr@tr · 1 Comment

It seems like October is all about pumpkin! Everywhere I look, everything is available in pumpkin or pumpkin spice flavors. Well today we are supporting the pumpkin love and my friends at Krusteaz have quite a few pumpkin baking mixes and recipes available, such as this one for Pumpkin Spice Cookies.

Taking it even further is the idea of whoopie pies! Have you ever had one? Imagine two cake like cookies with a fluffy, creamy filling sandwiched between them… {drool}. Using the Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Cookie mix, I made these Pumpkin Maple Whoopie Pies, which are the perfect treat for an after school snack, halloween party or just to get into the pumpkin loving spirit!

The added touch of maple gives a subtle sweetness that compliments the pumpkin flavor of the cookies. And all great whoopie pie recipes involve marshmallow fluff, which is ideal for the right filling texture. These are also fun to make with kids because they can help sandwich the cookies together and decorate the sides with festive sprinkles!

    Yum! The best dessert projects like this are ones that only take 30 minutes but look like they should have taken longer ๐Ÿ™‚
