    Pumpkin Whoopie Pies are the pumpkin version of the Amish whoopie pies that I grew up with in Lancaster county. These are pumpkin flavored cake-like cookies filled with fluffy cream cheese whoopie pie filling.

    • These are my son's favorite whoopie pie!
    • These are made with a fluffy cream cheese icing filling instead of a marshmallow fluff.
    • Nothing beats these homemade whoopie pies and a cold glass of milk.
    • Skip the whoopie pie pan, you might be tempted to buy it because all you truly need is a baking sheet lined with parchment.
