Pumpkin Whoopies!

sounds good, kinda like a thanksgiving whoopie pie.
I think it would be like a soft cookie with a fluffy frosting in the center.

From my Whoopie Pie recipe -
Scoop into 2 1/2" circle. (I bake on parchment, use a cookie scoop)
Bake in 350* oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

Thank you so much! Now I can use it, yay! If you want to give it a shoot, you can use it too!

I wonder... what is up with the two frostings? It does seem unique, have any of you seen a double frosting whoopie pie? Jelly does not count. Just wondering. Thanks. ☺

I think it is an either/or option. Use a traditional fluffy frosting (like a Whoopie Pie) or use the cream cheese frosting - more like a pumpkin roll.

Fair warning about using old recipes. Some of them are intentionally incomplete. My paternal grandmother was an excellent cook and baker. When someone would ask her for a copy of her recipe, she would intentionally omit a step or an ingredient to make sure that she would be the only person that could make the recipe correctly.

My gram would sort of do that. Her almond Christmas tree cookie recipe has the writing, "Add as much almond extract as you can" I asked my gram how much and she just laughs, my mother adds half a container of almond extract and I just look at her thinking, "What!?"
