Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix (I prefer Pillsbury mixes (white cake mix will work too))
  • 15 oz. pumpkin puree
  • 1 Tbsp. Pumpkin Pie spice
  • 1/2 C. oil (applesauce or melted butter)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 6 Tbsp. butter (softened)
  • 2 C. powdered sugar (more if needed)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instruction

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • 2. Sift cake mix into a large bowl and add pumpkin puree, Pumpkin Pie spice, oil and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
  • 3. Scoop out golf ball sized dough balls and place on cookie sheets.
  • 4. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the tops done. Juts lightly press the tops, they should feel like a dense cake and not "gooey" underneath.
  • 5. Filling: beat all ingredients until smooth.
  • 6. Frost the bottom of half of the cookies and place another cookie on top to create you cookie "sandwiches" or whoopie pies, whatever you like to call them!
