Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Ingredients:

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (1 stick melted, 1/2 stick stofened)

1 cup packed light brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup canned pure pumpkin puree

1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 2/3 cups flour

4 ounces cream chilled, chilled

1 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

1) Preheat the oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2) In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the baking powder, the baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour.

3) Using a tablespoon, drop 12 generous mounds of batter, spaced evenly, onto each baking sheet. Bake until springy to the touch, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

4) Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter with the cream cheese. Add the confectioners' sugar and  1/2 teaspoon vanilla; mix on low speed until blended, then beat on -high until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

5) Spread the flat side of 12 cakes with the cream cheese frosting. Top each with another cake.

Enjoy!
