This kid-friendly dessert will win the entire family over!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar and oil. Add the pumpkin and eggs and mix well. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cloves, ginger, cinnamon, ground white pepper and nutmeg.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix.
Scoop (or pipe) golfball-sized portions of batter onto lined baking sheets. Bake for twelve minutes. Let cool thoroughly before sandwiching together with frosting.
For the frosting, cream the butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat for about ten minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract at the end and mix well.

Re: sticky whoopies – if you do not bake them long enough then they will be sticky. I did this once when I was in a big hurry, didn’t check them, just pulled them out at 10 minutes – big mistake!!! They stuck to eachother, my fingers, it was very messy. (Still tasty though.) Definitely give them the extra 2 minutes and they will be nice and firm.

Sorry I didn’t explain well- I made someone elses recipe for these, not this recipe. These just look like they would be less messy to eat. I also refrigerated the other recipe and I think that might have contributed to the stickiness of the cakes. I’m planning on trying your recipe out–they look delicious.

These whoopie pies look wonderful. We love everything pumpkin over here

hmm that’s interesting! The only thing I can think of is that the pumpkin makes the cookie a bit stickier…not as dry. My best advice is to eat these as soon as you can after frosting–they are best eaten the same day that they are baked
