These Pumpkin Whoopie Pies are a Fall favorite of mine, and with good reason. They're RIDICULOUSLY EASY TO MAKE! They have only 5 ingredients, and the end result is a yummy, spongy, cake-y pumpkin spice cookie filled with decadently sweet cream cheese.
Preheat oven to 350º
In large mixing bowl, mix together cake mix, pumpkin pureé and vegetable oil until well combined. Cookie batter will be sticky. Spoon 2 Tablespoons at a time onto cookie sheet that has been greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until cookies are fully baked and spongy. Remove from oven and let cool completely on cooling racks.
Meantime, mix together instant pudding mix and heavy whipping cream in medium size bowl. It's helpful if you use an electric hand mixer. Mix until stiff peaks form. When cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cream cheese filling onto the flat side of a cookie, then top with another cookie. Repeat until all pumpkin whoopie pies are made. Store in refrigerator and enjoy.
