Whoopie Pies... Whatever those are?

Courtesy, once again, from Brown Eyed Baker, I tried out one of her Top 10 Pumpkin recipes called, Whoopie Pies. Now I know you're asking, what the heck are Whoopie Pies!? Apparently they are the most delicious cookies smooshed together like Oreos with some sort of filling inside. 

The Whoopie Pies I tried were Pumpkin Cookies with a Maple Cream Cheese frosting. Just the sound of the name made me salivate. The pictures alone had me running to the store to buy some all natural real maple, just to ensure the filling would be as good as it sounds. 

I made the cookies first, because there were a ton to make. I used a Tablespoon to drop them onto the parchment paper (which did not burn them! YAY!), and anxiously baked them for the necessary 11 long minutes.

After I cooked what seemed like 100 cookies, I finally started on the frosting, which I was so proud of successfully making! It's such a surprise that I am too impatient to usually cream my confectioners sugar until it's all the way combined with the ingredients... so as I licked the beater, I complimented myself on some damn good frosting. 

Finally, the assembled product! 

All I can say is: Dangerous. These taste less like Pumpkin Whoopie Pies than they do spice cake cookies with filling. I happen to be a gigantic fan of anything pumpkin, or spice cake-ish, so I was pretty pleased with these. I am trying my hardest to not devour all of them, as I am starting back on the "eat better"...blah blah blah... so you may be seeing more "good for you" recipes coming your way!
