Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Recipe

I’m excited to share a book with you today, written by a friend and fellow food blogger, Jenna Weber. Jenna’s wonderful site Eat, Live, Run, is a fun mix of health-conscious dishes and decadent treats! White Jacket Required is the story of Jenna’s adventures through culinary school, personal independence, tragedy, and love. Jenna’s ability to draw you into her life story, as if you were standing right next to her the whole way through, is uncanny. In fact, I discovered she was obsessed with Little House on the Prairie Books, just like me.

Introducing Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

I liked Jenna before, but now I pretty much consider her my new BFF. wink If you love cooking and coming-of-age tales, this is the book for you. White Jacket Required is sprinkled with home-style family recipes, as well as culinary inspirations. You can buy it online and in popular bookstores. Today’s recipe comes straight out of the pages of White Jacket Required, Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. Moist spicy cookie-cakes filled with decadent vanilla frosting. These Pumpkin Whoopie Pies make perfect little lunchbox treats and edible gifts. I had to pass them around fast, in order not to eat the entire batch by myself. Thanks Jenna for sharing your dreamy Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with us, and good luck on your book tour!

How long will these cookies last?

Whoopie pie style cookie sandwiches will keep in a sealed plastic container at room temperature for 3 to 5 days. Or wrap individually in plastic and refrigerate for up to 10 days.

How do you get the perfect whoopie pie shape?

I use a piping bag to shape the batter onto the baking sheets. It helps you to control the size of each cookie! The same goes for the filling as well.
