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.

Looks fantastic! I can’t wait to try these.

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.

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
